IN SCHOOL YEAR 2024-2025, DID YOUR CHILD ATTEND:
📍Afterschool Tutoring
📍Summer School/Credit Recovery
📍SNL (Saturday Night Live)
📍K-6 Youth Sports
📍Football Camp
📍Cultural Art Crafting/Community Workshops
📍Or any other 21CCLC (21st Century) sponsored activity
📝These were *all* 21CCLC (21st Century) sponsored activities!!😊 ---And we are still looking for participants of these activities to complete a SY 2024-2025 End of the Year 21CCLC Survey (AKA 21st Century Grant) for us.
‼️It is very important to us that we are listening and improve on programming as much as we can.....we also need this data for continued funding to continue programming after this school year. We are hoping everyone in your household that attended or participated in any of the activities listed above, or 21CCLC/21st Century sponsored activities with the Leech Lake Boys & Girls Club, complete surveys so we can get everyone's input - you and your child(ren) completed surveys separately, daga. We know it's a long survey of 24 questions, but the higher feedback we get, the better we can improve programming and hopefully show to our grantors we are worthy of an additional 3 years after this third year of the grant that we are currently on.

~Miigwech for your input!😊👍🏽


We want to know! What does a safe school look like, sound like and feel like? We've asked our students, and our staff, and now we want community input. Please complete the survey to share your thoughts. Safe Schools Community Survey
We have been having so much fun lately! On Friday, we had a blast being a part of the first annual Homecoming Unparade event. It was wonderful connecting with students, hearing their ideas, and learning more about what they would like to see from our program and how we can continue to grow together.
On Saturday, we kicked off our first SNL of the year with a fun-filled day of pumpkin painting 🎃, a Halloween movie 🎬, open gym 🏀, open beading and sewing, and a delicious meal featuring sloppy joes, chips, oranges, cookies, and drinks. We were thrilled to have more than 75 attendees join us for the Day Session. Check out some photos of some of the many and amazing pumpkins that were painted!
During the Evening Session, 59 attendees enjoyed an open gym, a movie, board games, beading, and sewing, along with another tasty meal prepared and served by our Student Youth Event Workers.
A huge shout out to our Student Youth Event Workers 🙌 for helping with registration, surveys, pumpkin distribution, setup, cleanup, cooking, and serving food. The 21CCLC would also like to thank Rance and Melissa Bahr Farm, M&M Pumpkins, and Merlin Feeken for providing such a great variety of pumpkins, and we can't forget to thank Cindy Kingbird! Her famous mac & cheese made a delicious addition to the menu. 🧀
Everyone's hard work made this Saturday such a success, and we are excited to keep working with our community and at future school district events.
