My Students

The student's I serve have qualified for Gifted and Talented services in one of five areas: Intellectual Ability, Academic Aptitude, Leadership, Divergent Thinkers, or Visual and Performing Arts. I also serve the other end of the specrum the Exeptional Ed. population qualifing from Specific Learning Disabilty to CI.

The student ratio is 100% Native American all recieving free lunch.

We are located in the south west corner of the state of South Dakota on the Pine Ridge Reservation.

These student's desire to walk into the 21st century by participating in innovative activities, such as STEM, Computer Science and STREAM projects. Listening to our students the common statement is "We want to be challenged in our Education".

My Project

Our student's are interested in programming, they have been exposed to Code.org and Ozobots. Students being able to create and program using the Makey Makey is the next step in their educational path as programmers.

These materials will make a life long difference in our students lives, by directing them into the future job market.

Our student's have never had access to these innovated ideas.

Student's will use critical thinking skills to solve real life issues on and off our reservation.

Your generous donation will changed the lives of many student's and their community. Wopila (thank you) for your contributions.
