Teens complaining about having to show up for school in the wee hours of the morning aren’t just whiners, they’re taking unnecessary risks to their well-being. A new study from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine has found that teens who start high school earlier in the day are involved in significantly more car crashes. The findings add credence to warnings from the American Academy of Pediatrics that teen sleep deprivation is a growing national epidemic.

We just found out that my mom has only days left to live after a long battle with cancer. And now, as if to add insult to injury, my dad and I are going to be left homeless. Our trailer has been falling apart for years but I was hoping to limp along another six months or so until I could get my dad into an assisted living facility (he’s developmentally disabled) and I could find a job (I haven’t worked since my mom got diagnosed because she became my full-time job) so I could get my own place to live. Yesterday the board of health came in and condemned our trailer. So now I’m left homeless while dealing with my mother dying and my disabled and mentally ill father.
In 2012, the Lakȟól’iyapi Wahóȟpi preschool opened its doors to its first cohort of 3 years olds to receive 100% of their instruction in Lakota.
Housed at Sitting Bull College on the Standing Rock Sioux tribe reservation, the Lakȟól’iyapi Wahóȟpi immersion nest gives students the opportunity to be fully immersed in the Lakota language for 8 hours a day, 4 days a week. Lessons are mixed with best practices in early childhood education and traditional Lakota knowledge.
The Lakȟól’iyapi Wahóȟpi program, along with the schools parents, teachers and community members are currently looking finical support to help keep its doors open and expand the immersion school.
