Great turnout this morning at the Walk and Roll event! Felt a little like I was back in Belgium this morning :):):)
Walter Dasheno, a consultant and former governor of Santa Clara Pueblo, came to our school last Friday to share a presentation on Native American traditions and history in view of Indigenous People's Day. His grandchildren shared a dance and students asked many great questions!
We will be offering a garden day camp next week Thursday and Friday if you need help with daycare for your child.

Dr. Kurt Steinhaus, the NM secretary of education, is at our school today in view of the Blue Ribbon award we recently received. He will be visiting some classrooms and shooting a quick video for the Award Ceremony in D.C. early November. What an honor to have him as our guest!
We are planning on having our Carnival from 3pm - 6pm on October 29th. More information will be sent out as we get closer. We are calling upon volunteers to help us man the various booths. If you can spare time, please sign up here for a slot: https://tinyurl.com/49ymjhpm

There has been an increase in students doing the One-Chip Challenge at schools. The chip is available to purchase at local gas stations and grocery stores, and can cause extreme and unpleasant side effects which may result in an ambulance being called to the school.
