On October 17th
the Topeka Public Schools Indian Education Summer Program received a $1,500
donation from the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation. The summer program is led by certified
teachers who work with students in the areas of reading and math
enrichment, cultural activities, traditional beading, Native American
games and art projects. The program also offers breakfast and lunch. Topeka
Public Schools has an enrollment of 558 Native American students representing
over 20 federally recognized tribes. The Indian Education Program is
funded by a federal grant from the US Department of Education Office
of Indian Education Program Title VII . We sincerely thank the
Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation for their generous gift to Topeka Public Schools
Indian Education Program.
