Congratulations to our October Seven Grandfather Teachings Award Winners. These students show the teaching of Debwewin, Truth. Truth is having the knowledge of our cultural teachings. It gives us the ability to act without regret. We must understand, speak, and feel the truth, while also honoring its power. Truth should not lead us to deceptions. We know who we are in our heart. By knowing that, we also know the truth. Our emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual gifts will guide each one of us in our journey.

❤️ Making Our Schools Heart Safe! ❤️

We’re excited to share that the Waubun-Ogema-White Earth School District has earned the Project ADAM Heart Safe School Designation as of September 2026!

With Minnesota’s new Cardiac Emergency Response Plan (CERP) law taking effect for the 2026–27 school year, having a plan in place to respond to sudden cardiac arrest is more important than ever.

A huge THANK YOU to our school nurse, Taylor Winter, RN, BSN, LSN, PHN and our Superintendent, Laurie Johnson, for taking the lead in developing and organizing our Cardiac Emergency Response Plan and response teams at both of our school sites. Through collaboration with Children’s Minnesota – Project ADAM Minnesota, our staff received the training and preparation needed to respond quickly and effectively in the event of a cardiac emergency.

This designation represents so much more than meeting a requirement. It means we’ve taken important steps to help protect our students, staff, families, and visitors by having a plan, a trained team, and the resources needed to respond when every second counts.

We’re incredibly proud of this accomplishment and grateful to everyone who helped make it happen! Thank you for your commitment to keeping our school communities safe. Because being prepared can save lives!
