Sacajawea's 60th Anniversary Celebration

Sacajawea Elementary School turned 60 years old this year, and our Sacajawea Elementary Alumni group hosted a Sock Hop celebration to mark the occasion. We ate, we danced, and everyone had a great time! Thank you to our musical entertainment for the evening, The Del Montes!

To commemorate this anniversary the occasion, our Sacajawea Alumni, led by Paul Herrick and Jim Blodgett, donated $1,000 to the Sacajawea Scholarship Fund. This generous gift ensures that every single child in our school will participate in every activity we have this year. Thank you Paul, Jim, and the rest of the Sacajawea Alumni.
