Students who made the 3rd quarter honor roll enjoyed dinner at the Rice King on Monday, April 27th. They will also participate in a Paint Gun activity which will be coming up soon.

Governing board members: President Stanley Yazzie, Vice-President Bill Cly, new member & Secretary Denis Tsosie, and member Nora Tallman held their monthly board meeting in Richfield and met with the staff and students. They encouraged the students to continue their education and be proud of who they are and where they come from. They shared personal educational stories with the students, which are always inspiring. The residential hall staff and students always enjoy on campus visits from the governing board. We know that we have their support and they work really hard to make Richfield Residential Hall a successful program. The board will visit the residential hall again on May 28th & 29th for the senior recognition banquet and graduation ceremonies for our 2009 graduates.

The mutton fry wasn’t uneventful! One of the sheep decided to go AWOL and took off across the grass into the adjoining parking lot. The parking lot was filled with buses and vehicles of runners and spectators participating in the Richfield High School track meet. Students scurried after the sheep and it was finally tackled behind one of the buses. Cheii drove over his pick up and the students loaded up the sheep to be taken back to the residential hall for “lunch”. Those who witnessed this event said it was hilarious!
