Lewiston High School Nez Perce Language students had a unique hands-on learning experience as they explored Nez Perce material culture through traditional weaving.
Danielle Bohn Scott, from the University of Idaho’s Nez Perce Reservation Extension 4-H Program, along with Gracie Broncheau, visited classes to teach students how to create Nez Perce-style woven flat bags. This meaningful experience gave students the opportunity to connect language learning with culture in a real and engaging way.
Thank you to Danielle and Gracie for sharing your time, knowledge, and expertise with our students.

Whitman Elementary students are racing their way across Alaska through books. 📚🐾
Students are participating in the IditaRead Challenge, a reading program inspired by the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race. As students read books, they move along checkpoints on the Iditarod trail from Anchorage to Nome, just like the mushers in the race.
So far, Whitman students have read 913 books during the challenge. Way to go, readers!
