PASCHAL SHERMAN INDIAN SCHOOL
Federal Recognition for Academic Success at Paschal Sherman Indian School
The administration at Paschal Sherman is pleased to announce it’s second year of AYP which stands for Adequate Yearly Progress. This is basically a report card for all schools to show that the students are learning and showing academic growth. Many schools in the state and the Bureau of Indian Affairs have not been successful in showing this growth in their entire school. Paschal Sherman has shown this growth for the past three years.
Over the past several years, Paschal Sherman has been aligning it’s curriculum to the state standards. We have adopted a new Reading Program called Success For All as well as the Houghton Mifflin Mathematic Series. We credit our success to these quality programs and the hard working staff that have implemented them.
This fall we have seen several new faces at our school. On September 13th we had our Open House which was well attended by the community. Several people enjoyed the new facilities as well as a delicious meal cooked by our staff.
The fall sports are under way at Paschal Sherman. We are excited to be using our new gym for basketball and our new football field. We invite you to come and support our teams while enjoying our beautiful campus.

Thank you Inchelium Community and Others:
My name is Deon Pakootas and the reason for this letter is to thank all the people who have touched my family’s lives.
I am sitting here crying because I am thinking on where to start and who to thank for my brother’s recovery. As of right now, my brother is still in rehab. His release date is Sept. 29th, even though he has had neck surgery.
The first person I would like to thank is God for not taking my brother. I am so glad and thankful that he is still here. Even though he will be paralyzed from the waist down, at least he is here. He is in good spirits and is learning everything that needs to be learned. The second person I would like to thank is my brother, Francis. I am very happy that you are here and getting better. Keep up the hard work and learning you are doing. There may be times you want to quit, but don’t give up. We love you VERY much. We all know how strong you are. The third person I would like to thank is my DAD. He has been there since this all happened. Never leaving my brother’s side unless he has to. You don’t know how much I thank you for sticking with Francis. It has been a battle with ups and downs. I see you as One of a Kind. My dad doesn’t leave Fran very much. He sleeps right by my brother, eats right by him, and learns everything with him. I guess what I am trying to say is we don’t know where Francis would be without you. His right hand man.
Now I would like to thank Lourie for all the Fridays she’s been taking off of work to go and see my brother. To let everyone know this is Francis’ aunt who helped raise him. You are the most wonderful Aunt a person could have. In my eyes you are a Very strong person and I admire that. You have given to Francis a whole bunch. Not only support but love to all of us. I am glad that you take time to see my brother knowing what you are going through already.
Ben Marchand has a heart of gold. Donating his time and effort to fix my dad’s house. From painting to wood work. You have done a lot. I don’t know if anyone asked you to do this or not, but I am very thankful to you for a good job. I went and checked my dad’s house out just the other day and when I got there, there was my Uncle Fatso, Randy Finley and Rodney Signor. You guys are doing a good job. Keep it up.
To the people who helped do fundraising in Inchelium. I thank you for the time and support you have given my dad and brother. The money will be used in a good way. I would also like thank ALL of FRAN’S FRIENDS who have gone to see him. You keep his spirits up and running. He enjoys all of your company and laughter. There is one more person I would like to bring up before I go and that is Brandon. Even though you can’t be there for Francis physically, you are there with your heart. If I forgot anyone, sorry. You are appreciated too.
A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL,
Deon Pakootas and Family
