Congrats to our Gifts of the Seven Grandfathers award winners for COURAGE! Bravery/Courage – Aakwa’ode’ewin Bravery/Courage is represented by the bear. The mother bear has the courage and strength to face her fears and challenges while protecting her young. The bear also shows us how to live a balanced life with rest, survival and play. To face life with courage is to know bravery. Find your inner strength to face the difficulties of life and the courage to be yourself. Defend what you believe in and what is right for your community, family, and self. Make positive choices and have conviction in your decisions. Face your fears to allow yourself to live your life. Awaken the warrior within by facing adversaries with integrity. We see these traits embodied in mother bears, who guide and protect their young with strength and a playful heart. Remember, you can’t take care of others without taking time for yourself first. Conquer fears so you can help those you love. Don’t forget the power of play and humor.

Congrats Tanner on scoring your 1000th point at the Basketball game at LPA last night.

WHS Close Up asking for community help: We are needing to sell the remainder of our raffle tickets for the Washington DC trip in April. We have 19 students working to earn money to attend their 5 day trip. $50 per ticket with only 400 tickets sold. Live drawing for $10,000 in cash prizes will be done once we sellout.

Many WHS graduates have attended and they can tell you what an amazing trip this is. If you would like to purchase a ticket please all Patti Degroat or Dejah Anderson at 218-473-6144. or comment below and we will contact you. We appreciate all the love and support from our wonderful communities!!! Thank you If you have done the Close Up trip we would love you for you to comment about your amazing experience.
