TRIBE: Awareness week tribute

The Coeur d’Alene Tribe is truly a partner with education. Each year they host Water Awareness Week for students in our area. They have specialists on hand to present timely and interesting lessons supporting water quality. In addition, students are exposed to historical elements of our area and native customs which demonstrate a love for the land. This high-quality experience takes place along the banks of Lake Creek and provides authentic learning which is so valuable to our students.

We, the sixth-grade teachers at Coeur d’Alene Charter Academy, are especially grateful to be able to attend with our students and parent chaperones each year. We would like to thank the Coeur d’Alene Tribe and employees for this enrichment to our curriculum.
