On Friday, October 17, student leaders from Lewiston High School DECA, BPA, and FCCLA, along with Tammany High School FCCLA, attended BASIC (Building and Achieving Success in Idaho Chapters) on the University of Idaho campus in Moscow.

BASIC brings together chapter officers from all seven of Idaho’s Career Technical Student Organizations (CTSOs) for a dynamic day of team building, leadership development, and networking. Students took part in engaging sessions focused on leadership, professionalism, and personal growth while connecting with peers from across the state.

The Tammany High School FCCLA group will also share their experience with the Lewiston School Board on Monday, October 27, highlighting what they learned and how they plan to apply their new skills in school and beyond.

The Lewiston School District Indian Education Program & The Nez Perce Tribe would like to invite the community to the Spokane Ensemble Theatre production of "According to Coyote" by John Kauffman, in partnership with Red Eagle Soaring. This production, featuring Coyote, the legendary hero of American Indian mythology, is an encounter with the richness and vitality of Native American culture using age-old traditions of music, dance, and theatre. Directed by the playwright’s niece, Josephine Keefe, and performed by Nez Perce actor, Kellen Trenal, this one-man show is a testament to storytelling and family history.
