Our Staff and Programs: 

Tanya Sprowl Project Director	Aanii!  I am fortunate to know many of our Native Families in this area because I grew up in Marquette and graduated from Marquette Senior High School in 1995. I also graduated from N.M.U. in 2004 with a bachelor's in Elementary Education. I belong to the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians. I have also worked for the Title VII Program since 2003 and enjoyed every minute! I now live in Skandia with my husband, Aaron, daughter, Delana, and son Aric. At this time I would like to invite everybody to stop by our office or call me if you have any questions, concerns, or would just like to say, Aanii. Miigwetch,Tanya Sprowl
Ceora Hull Head Tutor	Hello Students, Parents & Teachers: Welcome back to the fresh and exciting 2011-2012 school year. This year is sure to be full of fascinating challenges and outstanding successes.  I am looking forward to working with those of you I had the pleasure of working with last year. I’m also excited about meeting even more of the families and staff who are involved with Title VII, Native American Studies during this year.  As a Title VII Tutor I have the opportunity to interact with learners in a meaningful, supportive and productive way.  As a retired teacher, this is very fulfilling and rewarding; it is something that I truly enjoy. Remember to enjoy each day and to welcome new learning experiences. Working as a team we can confidently approach and meet each educational challenge we encounter this year. Respectfully, Ceora Hull
Tutoring Programs K-12^th grades	Elementary Schools (Cherry Creek, Superior Hills, Sandy Knoll) This year we are offering a Native American Education class that will meet once a month at the three elementary schools during the school day. A permission slip for your child to attend these classes is needed. The Title VII office did send permission slips home via U.S. mail to all Title VII students that are in grades 1^st to 4^th. If you misplaced your permission slip call the Title VII office and we will send a new one or you can print using link below. Bothwell Middle Schools This year Ceora will be at the middle school during the day for tutoring and we will offer Title VII after school on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2:45 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. (3:00 p.m. on early release days). Students just need to sign in at the library by 3:00 p.m. to attend that day’s session. A light snack will be provided to students after school. Marquette Senior High School This year Tanya Sprowl is the main tutor during the day at the High School and is available for after school tutoring by request.
