Waubun-Ogema-White Earth Schools

Thunderbirds--in just a few short weeks we will host our all-sports meeting to discuss our handbooks and registration process for the upcoming year! This meeting is designed to briefly discuss overall items for all student-athletes/parents for the year and will take place at the Waubun High School on July 28th at 5:30PM.
Following that information, our Fall athletes will receive details on teams and upcoming practices.
*ALL student-athletes will be offered a chance to schedule a physical, if you need one, from either IHS or Essentia Health. Spots fill quickly. Contact your school AD or HS office with questions or for appointment availability.

***Reminder that all 7th-12th graders planning to participate in a sport for the first time require a physical on file--if you have never had a physical and will be in grades 7-12 planning to play, you need one! And, anyone with a physical on file that is older than 36 months will need an updated physical.*** These are required before participation in an activity.
White Earth Tribal Health will be on-site, offering immunizations to any student who may need them.
Thank you to our partners at the Indian Health Service and Essentia Health! We look forward to seeing our coaches, Thunderbirds, and parents!

Culture Camp week 3. Students learned about porcupines and the Ojibwe story about how an Ojibwe Spirit and trickster, Nanabozho took branches off a Hawthorn tree and glued the thorns all over the porcupine. This protected the porcupine from the bear and the wolf. Along with the story students sculpted their own porcupine out of clay and added real porcupine quills.
