What a wonderful day we had with our FFN families!

At our Fun in the Sun: Camping Basics event, families learned, explored, and connected through a nature walk, nature art, stories, and building shelters. We also reflected on how our ancestors lived and their connection to the land.

We’re grateful for time with our families, team, and partner Wilderness Inquiry.

Thank you iStrive families!

On behalf of our entire iStrive family, thank you for trusting us with your children! We tried our best each year. This year was heartbreaking as we close our NHCC location, but our new home is at HOPE Community Academy in St. Paul.

Today was a reminder of how important each one of us have in reclaiming the HMong language, inspiring HMong youths to speak the HMong language. When parents speak HMoob at home, when educators do their best staying in the target language and when young leaders become role models in the classroom, magic happens.

Today’s showcase lunch was made possible by Auntie Sanida, Rocky’s Asian Bistro, and Thanh Vi. Cakes donated by Plua Yaaj. MN Zej Zog loves supporting small businesses to help them thrive.
