Byng School JOM

Last week, Ms. Bohan, our dedicated Byng JOM Native American Student sponsor, captivated the Native American Club students with the rich history of Navajo frybread. Her engaging presentation was a hit, especially with the delicious frybread taste test featuring honey, powdered sugar, salt, and cinnamon. The students loved it so much that only a few pieces were left! A huge thank you to Ms. Bohan for her wonderful teaching.

Don't forget, the Native American Student Club meets every 2nd Wednesday at noon in the HS school library. Students, join us to learn more and enjoy!

Byng JOM is encouraging all Native students and staff to wear their tribal regalia on Monday, October 14th in honor of Indigenous Peoples' Day! Join us as we showcase our Native pride!
