CPS Native American Programs

Over the summer (May-June 2023), the Hornets of Character (HOC) program provided students with cultural activities and games during the Summer Program. Activities and games included corn husk dolls, marbles, the game of graces, baskets, and clay pots.

Over the summer, some our staff members attended a basket making class provided by the Cherokee Nation. It is awesome that we have staff committed to learning about Cherokee art and culture! Our students will benefit from the knowledge/skills learned!

JOM school supplies were distributed at the beginning of the school year. Our program held 3 distribution events for students and parents in July and August.

Super excited to get this school year started! It has been so good to see the kiddos and hear all about their summer! We will kick off Cherokee next week! Stay tuned for the great things we have planned! Its going to be a wonderful year!

I have made signs that will be placed across the district to help instill our Cherokee Language!

Welcome back! We are so excited for another successful year in Cherokee Club! We will start meeting in club on Wednesday, August 23, 2023. All clubs PK-2, 3-5, and 6-12 will meet in the Elementary Buildign during the afterschool program. Any student can participate in club, however only Indian card holders may compete in Cherokee Nation competions. Hope to see you there!

Native American Studies students are currently learning about "The Beginning of Time". Students are learning about early civilizations and migration patterns.

Cherokee 1 and Cherokee 2 students are currently dissecting the Cherokee syllabary. Students have learned the vowels and will continue learning the rest of the syllabary chart.
