Message from Supt. Evans
School has now been operating for two months.
During that time 487 students have enrolled. More
than 400 students were present the first week of
school.
Much credit for this splendid showing is due our
students. Considerable time and effort was used last
spring in an attempt to help the students to see the
necessity of their reporting to school early this fall.
This early enrollment will not oidy provide for a
greater number of nays in school for each boy and
girl, but will also reflect in additional funds for next
year. Additional funds may be used to develop a
stronger program for Chemawa.
Let’s keep up the good work and every student
plan to remain in school for the full term. By doing
so every one is benefited, and we can more quickly
begin to realize the kind of school program we all
want.
