From the pen of RRH studentbody President LeCallin Cly:
“Our Mutton Fry was so much fun! We all learned from the staff and visiting community members how to properly butcher a sheep. Everyone helped with the butchering, some kids cut up the meat, and others set up for the dinner. We had Community people that helped us and Title VII people and we thank them, we could have never done it without their help. They helped butcher, helped the kitchen ladies with sorting the meat and cooking. By the end of the day, everything was all done, the food was delicious, it was like one big happy family, and Cheii Forrest Adison did the prayer for us to be blessed, protected, and learn harder, and go all the way with our education!”

Residential Hall staff members Angie Herrera, Dorm Manager, Rose Janec, Head Cook, and Sevier School District’s Title VII Coordinator Sophie Adison & Title VII community members planned this year’s mutton fry! It was a conjoined effort by all to prepare a delicious mutton feast for the residential hall students, staff & families and Native community families in the Sevier School District.

Students enjoyed an afternoon in the sun chalk drawing on the basketball court! Old Man Winter hasn’t gone to sleep, so when the weather is nice, we like to get the kids outside. The original plan on the day of the event was to play an old fashion game of hopscotch….but, many students said they had no clue what hopscotch was…..REALLY? We are hoping for many nice days ahead and more fun in the sun!

The Richfield Residential Hall Recruiting Team spent a few days touring the Navajo Nation during the last few days of March. This year’s recruiting team consisted of:  Mr. Workman, Mrs. Nielson (RRH Academic Director), Shawn Todacheenie (RHS Senior), Natasha Bitsinnie (RHS Senior), Shaquira Begay (SSHS Junior), Jerethan Tsinniginnie (RHS Sophomore), Mr. Bailey (SSHS Principal), Mrs. Topham (SSHS Media Center), Coach Singleton (RHS Teacher / Football & Wrestling Coach) and Mr. White (RHS Teacher).  The recruiting team visited Tonalea Day School, Kaibeto Community School, Dennehotso Community School and Kayenta Community School to share our opportunity with eighth grade students. The students that we visited were very very well behaved and excited about the opportunities available at RRH. We hope to see some of them as Freshman next year! Here are a few pictures from our trip.

An abbreviated version of the recruiting team will be visiting Tuba City Boarding School on April 22 at 8:30 am and Naa Tsis’ Ana Community School (Navajo Mountain) at 1:30 pm on the same day. We hope to get to see you there.
