ADI and ImaginEd are partners supporting the STEP grant charter school design team. Carrie Whitlow, Executive Director of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Department of Education, along with Deidra Flurry, STEP Project Director, Teresa Dorsett, Chief of Staff, and three legislators from Arapahoe Districts were welcomed by the HSPCSC, OHE, and R19CC and had the opportunity to observe Hawaiian language immersion and culture rich educational activities at Ka ‘Umeke Kā’eo School, Ka Waihona o Ka Na’auao Public Charter School, and Ke Kula ‘o Samuel M. Kamakau Charter School, resulting in a powerful exchange of hopes, ideas, and work to ensure Native children have opportunity to learn and grow in culturally sustaining learning environments that reflect and honor Native language, culture, and traditions.
