    In honor of Native American Heritage Day, WYLEES celebrates the rich cultures, histories, and contributions of the Paiute and Ute tribes, whose land we are fortunate to learn and grow on. Today, we recognize and respect the enduring legacy of these communities and their vital place in our region’s history. Here are some ways their legacy lives on today: ?? Paiute basket weaving is a significant cultural art form. They are known for intricately woven baskets used for gathering, cooking, and ceremonial purposes. ?? The Utes were one of the first tribes in the region to adopt horses. Horses allowed for greater mobility which then greatly expanded their ability to trade. #NativeAmericanHeritageDay

    Please join us in welcoming our new Director of Operations, Suzanna Nelson! ?? Suzanna is a first generation college graduate who started her own business to put herself through college. Suzanna was a celebrated English teacher in WYLEES' neighborhood for many years and holds both an MS in Learning Experience Design and Educational Technology and an M.Ed in Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment. Suzanna's experiences navigating a path to college in trying circumstances and working with students from WYLEES' geographic area-as well as her passion for continually improving student experiences when it comes to designing curriculum-make her an empathetic leader who can help empower WYLEES' future leaders. We can't wait to see the impact she has on our organization and community through her work at WYLEES!
