Game day at BSU for softball is moving quick. Have the expectation that the game will start early. Everybody coming to watch should plan to be here by 1:30pm
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!

WHO SAYS OUR MALE POPULATION CANNOT SEW OR BEAD? Did you know there are many Champion Powwow Men Dancers/Singers/Spectators and so many others that sew and bead their own gear and other regalia for themselves, families, and friends? At the remaining Saturday Night Live sessions taking place on 05/10/25 and 05/17/25, there will be open sewing and beading, but also a Beginning Ribbon Shirt Making session in hopes we can get our males to get in there and get their crafting on! (Of course, our female population is welcome to join as well) --Come join us, daga!:)
