We are grateful to Dr. Andy Nez, Navajo Nation Council Delegate, for partnering with SMIS Athletics to bring our community together through sports, teamwork, and friendly competition. Thank you to everyone who played, supported, and helped make the tournament a success!




Students are putting creativity and new skills into action as they learn the fundamentals of sewing! From becoming familiar with sewing techniques to working carefully with fabric, students are building a foundation they can carry into future projects.
They’re also putting those skills to work as they learn the process of creating a ribbon skirt, bringing together hands-on learning, creativity, and tradition.
We can’t wait to see their finished creations! 🪡✨
