BSD Title VI AI/AN Newsletter
December 2019
Welcome to our first newsletter. We will be including information about upcoming Title VI activities, BSD events, and local Native American community events. We will also be providing links to a few Indigenous language lessons and videos every issue. These videos will reflect the various Tribes represented by families in our district. We will do our best to only include videos created by Tribes, Tribal members, or Tribal organizations.
Please feel free to call or email with any comments, suggestions, or questions. I hope you all have a wonderful and warm Winter!
masi,
Chris
