Reading The Fond du Lac Ojibwe School held a Scholastic Book Fair the week of Nov. 19-22. Thanks to teacher and student volun- teers working at the fair and those who patronized the sale, our school was able to earn “Scholastic Dollars” toward new books and classroom resources. Some of the items that were selected include writing kits for grades K-3, books on character development, math resource books for teachers, math literacy books for children, and popular book sets for classrooms. There was also a raffle giving away three children’s book baskets. The next book fair will open on Apr. 30 through May 2. It will be a Buy One Get One Free sale. Please support the school’s efforts by taking advantage of the wonderful bargains and shop for your children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, or yourself. There are titles for adults, teens, and young children, as well as posters, and other novelty items. Thank you to everyone involved, and we hope to see many new and returning custom- ers in the spring.

The mission of the Gichi Manidoo Giizis traditional powwow is to bring together community members and fed- eral, tribal, and state organizations to learn from one another about how we take care of the land and community. Representatives from organizations will be available to answer questions and provide information on sustainable agriculture, natural resources programs for land owners, and education and career opportunities through college and university programs. In addition, those representatives will learn from community member’s the traditions of the Anishinaabe culture, language and best practices of taking care of the land and community.
