Wóphila Wednesday offers students the chance to bring a parent or relative to lunch! The goal is to highlight recipes with indigenous ingredients and share the significance of cultural foods with students.This initiative is in collaboration with Sean Sherman, owner and visionary of The Sioux Chef in Minneapolis, and the Maȟpíya Lúta Food Sovereignty Program.

Spiritual and Cultural Events Policy:

• All staff and students (in attendance) will attend spiritual and cultural activities during the school day.

Our Spirituality defines who we are; it is a choice to learn about and celebrate the beauty of Catholic and Lakȟota customs, practices, and values.
