NEWS FOR WEEK OF 4/20-4/27

Acceptance , SFIS's new core value - On Friday, April 13, 2018, senior Cameron Cata presented to the SFIS Board of Trustees and proposed a new core value: Acceptance - loving and including one another for who we are, regardless of color, age, size, gender, race, ethnicity, tribal affiliation, disability, and sexual orientation because we are Braves not bullies. The BOT voted unanimously to adopt this as an official SFIS core value. He is pictured below with his governor, Governor Garcia from Ohkay Owingeh after the core value was approved.
