Thank you to everyone who attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony at Chee Dodge Elementary. This event signified the completion of the safety enhancement project for Chee Dodge. This is a great accomplishment for the safety of our students.
We are especially grateful to the many partners who made this project possible. Your commitment to our community and your belief in the importance of supporting education through infrastructure improvements have made a lasting difference. To transportation professionals, construction crews, community leaders, and supporters: thank you for recognizing that when we invest in our schools, we invest in our future.
Thank you all for being here to share in this special moment.

We extend our deepest gratitude and appreciation to Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren and the Navajo Division of Transportation for taking the time to visit Chee Dodge Elementary School and personally view the completed road improvement project. The newly completed project provides safer access to our school, improves transportation for our students and staff, and represents a meaningful investment in the educational success of our children. Thank you for recognizing the importance of this project and for sharing in this special milestone with us!
