Home Internet Project Update: With the end of the 2020 year, the project contract with the developer expired. Consequently it is necessary for the district to pause a moment and set action steps to move forward. We ask for patience as next steps to move forward are developed. Our excitement and commitment to the project has never been stronger.
We invite scholars, parents, grandparents, guardians, aunties, uncles, and community members to join us at a special virtual presentation by Nathan Brady! This healing message will center around Navajo Resilience. We hope you will join us at 6:30 pm today (Jan 12) in google meets:
