📚Happy First Week of School, KTJUSD!📚
We hope everyone had a great first week back! 🎉 As we wrap up the first week of the new school year, we wanted to look back at some of the fun from our 30-day Expanded Learning Summer Program!
A huge thank you to our amazing Expanded Learning staff, community partners, tribal programs, and cultural mentors who made this summer so special for our students.
🧡 KTJUSD Indian Education Director Taihvoochi brought meaningful cultural experiences through regalia making, field trips, and hands-on activities that helped students connect with culture.
💙 Hoopa Tribal Neighborhood Facilities welcomed us throughout the summer for some much-loved pool days!
🤎 Hoopa Tribal Museum provided weaving and acorn cracking with Cheriku, along with tie-dye activities with Cheriku and Raphly. Silis led regalia and language education, cultural field trips to Mike’s Point, Hostler Field, and Waterdog Lake, and song/singing education with special guests Philly and Kiss.
💚 Yurok Tribe Cultural Mentor Keg Super mentored our young men through traditional teachings and activities including eeling, necklace making, sticks, bows and arrows, traditional foods, gathering, and more.
🌿 Save California Salmon brought engaging environmental and cultural learning focused on salmon, our waterways, ecosystems, and protecting our natural resources.
🌱 Klamath-Trinity Resource Conservation District (KTRCD) brought fun, hands-on workshops including berry lemonade, fresh garden salads, sun tea, and more!
Our summer was full of culture, learning, laughter, and FUN! We are incredibly thankful for everyone who shared their time, knowledge, and energy with our students. ❤️
Now that the school year is officially underway, we’re excited to carry that energy forward and continue providing even more Expanded Learning opportunities throughout the year! 📚✨
Here’s to a great school year, KTJUSD! 🎉
