Good Morning, Golden Eagles, Parents/Guardians and Community!
This week is Teacher Appreciation Week, and I want to take a few moments to recognize the incredible teachers and staff at NCS who make our school such a great place. They are here to support students, help them reach their full potential, and create a caring, positive environment.
NCS teachers go far beyond the classroom—spending time on Fridays, leading extended summer learning experiences, organizing college and career visits, attending weekend field trips, attending sporting events and powwows, just to name a few. The staff at NCS create engaging lessons and build meaningful relationships that truly make a difference. Their dedication and patience does not go unnoticed.
Students, parents/guardians and community members, I encourage you to take a moment this week to say “thank you,” write a note, comment on our social media, or simply show your appreciation in a meaningful way. Small gestures can make a big impact.
To the NCS “9” thank you for everything you do. I appreciate you today and everyday.
Have a great week and a strong finish to the school year!
Mr. Heinrich

NCS would like to thank Yellowhawk Behavioral Health staff for facilitating the Gathering of Native Americans (GONA) today. GONA is a mini wellness workshop rooted in Indigenous values designed to strengthen protective factors and promote cultural identity. All NCS students were invited to join along with potential incoming freshmen from Sunridge Middle School. Great job to all the students who participated today.
Our chapter as a whole was recognized for its dedication and activity throughout the year. Nixya'awii Community School was officially designated as a "Champion Chapter" at the conference. We were proud to accept a certificate honoring this achievement, which highlights our commitment to service, leadership, and the core values of FBLA.
For all three attendees, this was their first time participating in the state-level conference. Despite being newcomers to the event, the students navigated the high-pressure environment with grace and ambition. The experience was so transformative that their primary regret was a simple one: not joining sooner.
