The Los Alamos Public Schools Native American Parent Advisory Council (NAPAC) hosted the 3rd annual Sash Ceremony last Wednesday to recognize Native American students who are members of the Los Alamos High School Class of 2021.
Each student was presented a handmade sash made by Cris Velarde, Santa Clara Pueblo and Jicarilla Apache, which they will wear for the graduation ceremony May 29. Velarde has made sashes to honor graduating seniors for the past three years. “It is a privilege to create these sashes each year,” he said. “Every year I make them unique and different, just like the students.”
