Elementary yearbooks are in!!!
📣 Families!
As we wrap up another incredible year of CLB Athletics, I want to take a moment to say thank you and reflect.
These seasons can get long and tough, but through every challenge, our student-athletes continue to show resilience, commitment, and heart. The work they put in both on and off the playing surface doesn’t go unnoticed.
As my time at CLB continues, I can’t express enough how proud I am of our student-athletes. Watching them grow, lead, and represent our school with pride is truly inspiring.
I also want to thank our families, fans, and community for your unwavering support. Your energy in the stands, your encouragement at home, and your presence at every event make a lasting impact. You are a vital part of what makes CLB Athletics special.
Let’s carry this momentum into the next season together. 💪🐾
#PantherPride #CLBAthletics #ThankYou #CommunityStrong
Thank you for everything CLB community!!

Last night we held our Indian Education Senior Feast to celebrate the 87 students in the Class of 2025. The feast includes all 12th grade students in the HS, ALC, and Youthbuild. We had a meal of frybread tacos made by Chubbys and delicious cake!
Each student received a certificate from Indian Education, a braid of sweetgrass, wild rice as a gift to their family, and a blanket. Alisha Hillukka coordinated the scholarship portion of the evening. There was a total of $34,640 in scholarships awarded last night!
We had 45 students and their families attend the feast last night. For those who were unable to attend, we will distribute the remaining gifts before graduation practice on Thursday 6/5 at 9:30am. Grad practice starts at 10am. Miigwech!
