We Shall Remain Essay Contest
Our Native American Parent Advisory
Committee (NAPAC) is proud to sponsor an Essay Contest in celebration of
the groud breaking PBS miniseries We Shall Remain. We
Shall Remain is a provocative multi-media project that establishes
Native history as an essential part of American history. Five
90-minute documentaries spanning three hundred years tell the story of
pivotal moments in US history from the Native American perspective.
The Essay Contest is open to all kindergarten through eighth grade
students and submissions are due by May 20, 2009. Prizes will be
awarded to the top three essays. Please
read the details and encourage your child to participate!

Tell us what you think!
Please share your celebrations and suggestions with us! How are
the current Native American Student Services programs and Native
American Parent Advisory Committee serving your family's needs?
Please send your thoughts and suggestions for improvement to
Terry to use as we plan 2009/10 services. Here are some
questions to help get you started:
·
What are your top three priorities for Native American programming in
Kyrene?
·
What services are provided that you like?
·
What services are provided that you think should change? How?
·
How do you think we could increase participation in the Native American
Parent Advisory Committee meetings and events? (What would
encourage you to come?)
Thank you so much
for providing your valuable input!
