School Dance on Wednesday!
When the Student Council was formed earlier this year, one of the main ideas that emerged was a School Dance. Offering School Dances are another way to increase engagement and our students are extremely excited for the Dance to take place! They eagerly participated in the Student Council Bake Sale that took place during the Holiday Craft Fair, to raise funds toward the School Dance. Students who are involved with planning the School Dance are also learning valuable skills, including responsibility and leadership. We can't wait for them to enjoy their School Dance!
The School Dance will take place during the school day, no visitors please.

Goodeagle Gourmet is an Indigenous woman-owned food business dedicated to serving healthy culinary creations to Native communities. With an emphasis on North American indigenous cuisines from South America to Canada. They only cook gluten-free foods, dairy-free, and refined sugars-free foods, with some vegan options.
Miya Goodeagle, owner and chef, is an enrolled member of the Oneida Nation and of Puerto Rican decent. She began her passion in the kitchen from a young age. Being the eldest child in her family, she helped her single mother by cooking for all her younger siblings. Growing up between Milwaukee and Oneida, she was exposed to Native American and Latin cuisines. She often watched and helped her Puerto Rican Abuela (Grand Mother) in the kitchen and utilizes those learned techniques in her cooking.
