Crow Word of the Week

"A'hoo"

means "thank you" in the Crow language.

With the Thanksgiving holiday approaching, incorporating "A'hoo" into our interactions gives us a special way to express gratitude and foster a positive atmosphere among students and staff. For audio pronunciation and more context, you can visit the Crow Language Dictionary at this link: Crow Language Dictionary - A'hoo.

Use "A'hoo" in your conversations and activities throughout the week. This will continue to build a sense of appreciation and cultural connection within our school community as we celebrate and give thanks.
