I put together a kids bicycle at work today, taken from the depths of the storage, to get raffled away at the Back to School BBQ. We had over 400 backpacks stocked with some school supplies to hand out to the community, from pre-k to 1st year college students. I got so many smiles and hugs from the students, many getting ready to get back to school tomorrow, and many excited to work with me in this upcoming school year. #fulloflove #ndnKidz #ittakesavillage

Some gifts from camp kids last week. The earrings from a sweet & precocious young lady who attended the after school program & is back for camp. The secret agent book from a very young student who made a treasure map & showed me how to follow it, with the book as the treasure. He wanted to make an underground tunnel hideaway. On Friday, we started digging. He was so happy! #ndnKidz #teachergifts #firstdayoflastweekofcamp1 #siletz #intertribal

Summer camp, out berry picking. One student asks if we can bring the berries to the elder's room. I say it's a great idea & the rest of the students agree. Then another spots this: THE BIGGEST DANDELION EVERRRRRR So we take pictures. One added a feather. #ndnKidz #joyinnature #teachculturally #siletz #intertribal
