Our 3rd and 5th graders attended the Pow Wow at the beautiful Wiimaajiikwad School. They were introduced to several types of dancing, invited to join in the round dance and try frybread. We are so proud of our very own Fancher Falcons who danced and shared their cultural traditions with us. We are thankful for the opportunity to participate. Miigwech!
