Boys with Braids. Strength in Tradition. In Native cultures, braids represent strength, identity, and connection to our ancestors. Our boys wear their braids with pride, just as generations before them. Let’s honor their courage to walk in tradition.

One of my favorite books and we currently have it available in the Native Mobile Library.
In celebration of Women’s History Month, today’s Reader’s Advisory highlights Finding My Dance by Ria Thundercloud—a beautiful story of identity, expression, and confidence as a young girl discovers the power of honoring who she is. Explore DallasISD.org/library for more empowering stories.#DallasISDLibraries

I am so proud of my students who participated in the regional History Day event. We had 4 attend and 2 have made it to the next round. Texas History Day 2026, get ready for the Native students from DISD!!!
Our young historians have put in countless hours of research, critical thinking, and creativity to bring the past to life. From captivating exhibits and websites to powerful performances and papers, their hard work is truly on display today!
