Greetings Valued Partner in Indian Education,

We feel proud of the work our program provides and thank you for your support. This year’s Indian Education program is well underway with an annual newsletter (see attached) sent to student homes on Wednesday.  During this season of giving thanks, one of our high school Indian Education students wrote an article recently published in her school’s newsletter (I’ve attached it to this email, if you’d like to read it). Her sentiment echoes many who have expressed gratitude for this program and her story reiterates the need for native students to have support provided at their school site. We are grateful for your school site’s support and promotion of Indian Education. During National Native American Heritage Month (November) we encourage you to help raise awareness about our program, by posting the attached image to your school district’s home page and/or social media outlets for the month of November, with a hyperlink to our website (http://tiny.cc/vcindianed).
