American Indian Education students working with sewing machines.

Middle School students in American Indian Education will be making their own ribbon skirts and ribbon shirts every Tuesday after school for the month of February. Raenna came to share her skills and passion with these students. So far, they have learned about the mechanics of a sewing machine, practiced threading their bobbers/needles, and practiced making simple stitches. This is such a great experience for our students.

Thank you to the White Earth Land Recovery Program, Minnesota Humanities Center, and the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment for making this opportunity possible. Stay tuned for the finished products at the end of the month!

Chief Hanson talking to  students.

DLHS students would like to give a big Thank You to DL Fire Chief Mike Hanson and two of his volunteer firefighters for hosting an exploring post at the fire station last night. The students learned how to become a fire and rescue professional and had the opportunity to suit up and use the "Jaws of Life" in an egg shuttle challenge. It was very educational and fun for the students. We are grateful to have such a competent and skilled fire department in Detroit Lakes.
