Huge congratulations to Ms. Anthony from Winters' Well Elementary and Mr. Unabia from Desert Sunset School for completing the rigorous Northern Arizona University's Institute for Native-Serving Educators (INE) program!

Since before April, these dedicated educators have been deepening their knowledge of cultural differences to better support our Native American students. They concluded the program by presenting their student-focused projects with slide shows and poster sessions.

Thank you, Ms. Anthony and Mr. Unabia, for investing in cultural understanding and making our classrooms stronger!
