2. Practice Trust and Guidance (Elders and Teachers)
Share Stories of Trust: Tell stories about times you followed the advice of your own parents, elders, or teachers, and how it helped you succeed or stay safe.

Model Respect: Show clear respect when talking about teachers, family elders, or community leaders. When discussing schoolwork, reinforce that the teacher is guiding them on the right path.

Thank you to Mr & Mrs Bergen and the Hands to Heart toy program. They came from Kansas City and are delivering toys to reservation communities. Our PreK-12 students were very excited and appreciative. ❤️💚🎄

Our Isanti basketball teams played with heart and determination tonight! We are proud of their hard work and the way they represented our school. Good luck on your game tomorrow — keep that energy and teamwork going! Let’s go, team Isanti! 🏀💙💛

Each month at Isanti Community School, students have learned about a core value and how they can live that value in their everyday lives.

This month, students are learning about Wowicada - Faith/Belief.

Reinforcing WÓWICADA (Faith/Belief) at Home
1. Focus on Self-Belief (Unique Strengths & Powerful Spirit)
Acknowledge Strengths: Regularly point out specific things your child does well. Use phrases like, "I saw how hard you worked on that drawing—your focus is a unique strength!" or "You showed great kindness when you shared your toy. That comes from your powerful spirit."

Encourage Challenges: When your child is faced with a difficult task, remind them, "Remember how you figured out that puzzle last week? I have faith (Wówicada) that you can find a way to do this, too."

See our school web page for more information: https://www.isanti.school/page/dakota-language-culture

Come support the Isanti Warriors in Elba, NE tomorrow 💙💛🏀 GO BIG BLUE!

Reminder: We will not have school November 26-28, 2025. Have a safe break.

Mrs Garlejo's Science class had a fun time making ice cream today 🍨❄️ Did you know, making homemade ice cream is actually an endothermic process! The ice cream mixture absorbs heat from its surroundings in order to freeze. By placing it in ice mixed with salt, the salt lowers the freezing point of the water, creating a super cold environment that pulls heat out of the cream mixture — and voilà, delicious ice cream! 🍦✨

Reminder, tomorrow there is a middle school girls and boys basketball game against Omaha Nation at 2:30 and 3:30. The bus will depart at 11:15.
