Onondaga Nation School Celebrates Student Attendance

Students and staff at the Onondaga Nation School (ONS) recently celebrated the school’s improvement in overall attendance in a very cool way.  

Chiefs Shannon Booth and Jesse Lyons led the students in the “Stomp Dance” around the school, as a way of bringing everyone out to celebrate a great achievement! The procession went throughout the school, from room to room, before concluding in the gym. 
 
In September of this year, ONS saw 24 students achieve perfect attendance for the month, followed by another 13 students in October!

In addition to the school-wide celebration, a notice of special recognition will be sent home, honoring the students who’ve had months of perfect attendance. On time and present… every day!
