Dear Parents and Guardians:

 

This year we are going try something different with our elementary Title VII students. We are offering a Native Education Class to 1st through 4th graders at the three elementary schools. Classes will meet for 1 hour from about 2:40 p.m.to 3:40 p.m. We will meet once a month at each of the elementary schools.

 

Native Education classes will include Native American storytelling, reading and discussing Native American legends, Native American history, and Native American arts and crafts.

 

If you would like your child to attend classes please fill out bottom portion and return to school secretary as soon as possible. First classes start in October and we will not be able to accept your child to these classes until we have a complete permission slip.

 

Planned days to meet at Cherry Creek:

Mondays:  Oct. 10

                    Nov. 14

                    Jan. 16

                    Feb. 13

                    Mar. 12
