CONGRATULATIONS
Congratulations to the Pre-Kindergarten Braves Achievement Award winners! Reggie Thompson-Hyatt and Jamee McMillan were honored Friday, May 16 at Cherokee Central School’s Pre-K Awards Program held in the Gathering Place.
Each year the Boys Club sponsors the Braves Achievement Awards to recognize students from Pre-K through 12th Grade who have shown the most achievement in their class over the course of the school year. These are students who have worked hard to advance their level of learning and participation in their class. One boy and one girl from each grade receive an award.
MEMORIAL DAY HOLIDAY
The Boys Club will be closed on Monday, May 26 to observe the Memorial Day Holiday. Memorial Day is a US Federal Holiday where the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces are remembered. This holiday, celebrated each year on the last Monday in May, was also known as Decoration Day and started after the Civil War to commemorate the Union and Confederate soldiers who died in the Civil War.
Many people visit cemeteries and memorials in rural areas, notably in the mountains, to put flowers on graves of ancestors as well as those who were recently deceased and buried. Sometimes families reunite for a family reunion and hold a “dinner on the ground”. We appreciate all those men and women who died for our country and we appreciate all those men and women who continue to serve our country today.
CONGRATULATIONS
Congratulations to Gina Lambert, daughter of Patrick and Cindy Lambert, who graduated from the University of North Dakota on Saturday, May 10.

Gina also received an Indian Law Certificate which is awarded to students who complete a minimum of 17 course hours in federal and tribal law.
Gina has been a recipient of the Club’s Beck Scholarship for the past few years. This scholarship is awarded to students pursuing a law degree. We are very proud of Gina’s accomplishments!
