The Indian Education Program plans several cultural activities throughout the year, open to all students in the program and their families. Speakers, storytellers, and artists share their skill and experiences with our students. Students and their families also participate in field trips and regional cultural events to engage their knowledge and appreciation of their Indian traditions and heritage.

Teachers who are interested in having an Indian Education Cultural Presenter come to their classroom should contact Karen Elliott for more information. This resource is generously supported by a grant from the Edmonds Public Schools and Alumni Foundation.

Parent involvement is an important aspect of Title VI federal grant funding. The Native American Parent Advisory Committee is formed in accordance with the Title VI Indian Education Formula Grant requirements and regulations. Parent leadership is required to provide feedback of student needs in order to support our Native students. Your voice matters with the process of the grant in order to support Native student academic achievement. The Parent Advisory Committee will assist to identify goals that will increase attendance, support academic achievement, college enrollment, or career path, and most importantly cultural identity. Our vision is to have meaningful meetings to ensure student achievement in reading, writing, and math.
