Students and staff started the school year with a focus on building the friendships that will carry them through the remainder of the year. In the same spirit, we are dedicating this month’s social media contest to celebrating those new and continuing friendships around Lakota.

To participate, snap a selfie with a Lakota student, co-worker, family or community partner you value as a friend. Tell us why they make a difference in your corner of Lakota. Share your selfies on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or all three, along with #LakotaFriendships and #WEareLakota.
