This post is an appreciation post for the amazing, talented elder in training Angelica Pete. For those who don't know, Angelica worked with Path to Wellness and Native Way. She has now taken an amazing opportunity and is a teacher for the 5th grade at Round Valley Middle/Elementary School. We wanted to take this time and thank you for all you have shown us and all the help you have been. Angelica is an amazing worker and through these years continued to show her support for the community and all the youth in it. You put in all your effort in everything you do and we couldn't have asked for a better worker. Through the time working with us you have shown so much kindness and dedication. You are a role model and inspiration to a lot of the youth in this Valley! Keep working hard, we are so proud of you!
