The students really enjoy listening to Ms. Janelle Adair share her knowledge of the Native culture with us! She shared some history, told some legends, and even talked about some of her own personal experiences. Students were intrigued and didn't want their time to end. Thank you, Ms. Janelle, for spending the day with Colcord Schools!

Cherokee club has been busy busy this semester! We competed and places at the Cherokee Nation challenge bowl in Greasy, OK. Several students created beautiful art pieces to enter into the Cherokee Art Competition; 3 students from Colcord placed and will recieve a cash prize! We are so proud of our students and the hard work they have already put forth.

This coming semester we have already begun to prepare for the Cherokee Language Competition. Students are already studying hard! We look forward to taking several groups to compete and hopefully place again!
