Nebo’s Title VI Indian Education hosted their annual Naat’aanii Day. It was a successful day for the students to hear about success stories from college students. The Nebo students learned about many possibilities and how to prepare for college.
Nebo School District’s Title VI team works continuously for the academic, social and emotional, and cultural success of all Native American students. This team coordinates with and serves alongside parents and families in providing support and opportunities for students to participate in and learn from such as the annual Naat’aanii Leadership Day that takes place in October each year. Eileen Quintana and her team are much appreciated for their dedicated service given to the students and families of Nebo School District.
"Naat'aanii" in Navajo Language means "Leader" the root of this word means to plan, so Naat'aanii describes someone who used their thinking and planning ability as tools for leadership when they speak.
The mission of the Nebo Indian Education Program is to aid in the academic and cultural needs of Native American/Alaskan Native students in the district through supplementary programs directed by the parent committee and the Title VI formula grant. The Title VI program also works with the district by providing teacher resources and presentations to further spread correct knowledge of the history, culture and way of life of American Indians and Alaskan Natives.
