CPS Native American Programs
May 2024
We thank Mike Shambaugh and the Cherokee Nation for donating $1,500 to our Native American Programs Activity Account this spring. These funds will supplement our current funds to provide our students with additional cultural activities, presentations, resources, and materials. This is the second donation Mike has made this school year! Mike and the Cherokee Nation are extremely valuable educational partners, Wado!
On Saturday, April 20, 2024, some of our CPS Native American Programs staff members attended the Cherokee Nation Watercress Fest at Saline Courthouse. Our staff is committed to continued learning about Cherokee art, games, and culture! Our CPS students will benefit from the knowledge/skills learned!
At the end of April, JOM staff attended the 2024-2025 JOM Application Workshop in Tahlequah. At this annual training, participants learned about the JOM application process. The Cherokee Nation Educational Services Department also informed participants about the variety of services available to districts. CPS would like to thank the Cherokee Nation for being an incredible educational partner to public schools! We appreciate you greatly! Wado!
End-of-the-Year Party🥳🎉
On Wednesday, 5/1, the “Cherokee Club” students and staff had their annual end-of-the-year party. The students and staff had an ice cream party. It was another awesome year! We encourage students to join us next school year on Wednesdays to participate in the club and the JOM Special Projects!
