Eke-Me-Xi School Sign Unveiling (Continued from Page 1)
Lots of people came to show their support for the school and students. Spruce Wamiss said a prayer and offered some advice to the students to “use your heart knowledge, not your head knowledge”. The students, dressed in traditional regalia, sang a song composed by Walter Brown for the school. Kaleb Child and Malcolm Fleeton both shared some thoughts with the group on behalf of School District #85 Teachers Leah Hubbard and Stephanie Nelson made heartfelt speeches about how much they love working with the students. Then everybody went outside into the street and the students did a Tla’sala dance and a fun dance. It was a lot of fun, congratulations to Eke Me-Xi on your new sign! 10
