TrekNorth has put in great effort to recognize National Day of Remembrance for Indian Boarding Schools!
Last week our students took time to design their own Orange Shirts and then worked with staff to make their creations real.
With help from our amazing staff, the American Indian Education program hosted a family night where families could make their own Orange shirts.
We wear our Orange shirts to honor our relatives that survived Indian Boarding Schools and promote healing.

7th grade has returned from a great last trip of the school year. They spent two days and one cold night exploring Lake Bemidji State Park. They biked, hiked, and fished their way through two days, with lots of silly time in between. Only 5 more days left!!

The hiking trip is on their last long stretch home after visiting their third national park, Theodore Roosevelt, where they saw a petrified forest, wild horses, bison, and gorgeous landscapes. They are exhausted, smelly, and ready to not sleep in a tent. But we are all leaving having grown in patience, perspective, and resilience.

Yesterday Katherine's Spanish 4 class hand made both flour and corn tortillas. Add some meat, cheese, beans, and guacamole and you've got yourself something delicious!

Another day in the books with the Grand Teton crew. Today we said goodbye to Grand Teton and hit up our second national park, Yellowstone. It was a whirlwind of geological highlights and wildlife. Over 12 hrs of adventure today!

Day 4 on the Grand Teton trip is in the books. Thus far we have spent 16 hrs in the car, hiked in to a gorgeous lake front campsite with sweeping mountain views, hiked 8 miles in a canyon over places with six feet snow pack - and that was just the first three days. Today we took on 12 plus miles with some nice elevation changes and gorgeous views. Tomorrow we take on another adventure!
