American Indian Awareness & Family Involvement Week: Nov, 15-19, 2021


 
American Indian Awareness & Family Involvement Week is a week-long initiative for Minneapolis Public Schools celebrating, recognizing and raising awareness of American Indian people & culture. Minneapolis has a vibrant American Indian community and we have much pride serving over 1500 American Indian students across the district in more than 100 schools. All MPS schools are invited to join us in Indian Education to recognize our American Indian population by intentionally engaging our students, families and community during this week while also exploring activities that allow all students to learn about Indigenous populations.

News from Science: Karen Utter E1 Students Learning about Air E1 is learning about Air and Weather. So far we have learned that air is a gas and is all around us. We’ve been introduced to the terms: air resistance, compressed air and air pressure. We’ve learned that air takes up space and that it is stronger than all of us when it’s in a space it can’t escape from.    E2 has started learning about Motion and Force.  We learned that a force is a push or pull and that the scientific word for creating motion is “applying a force.” We discussed speed, direction and gravity.

(Her children are now in college.) *I remember Anna Lethert as a Seward kindergartner. (Anna now teaches E-1) *I held Noah Mammen as a new born baby. (Noah is part of the Student Support team.) I've loved this job.   When I think of the PTA through the years, my heart fills with awe.  You've all made Seward the school that it is.  Strong in community.  A gift.  From the bottom of my heart, thank you. It has been an honor. Mary D.
