Important Message - Early Dismissal September 29, 2023
Dear Warroad ISD #690 Family,
As you may be aware we recently lost a member of our Warroad Warrior family. Mr. Henry Boucha was an alumnus, a former Warroad Indian Education Director, and strong Advocate for the Warroad Warrior Logo and Identity. He fought for decades to maintain this identity and rich history, and most recently made personal appeals to each of the 11 Federally recognized Tribal Nations on our behalf on our quest for an exemption to the legislation which would force its removal.
Funeral services will be held on Friday, September 29, 2023 in the Gardens Arena beginning at 2:00 PM. Knowing the huge impact that Mr. Boucha has on so many we would like to encourage as many students, staff, and families to be able to pay their respects. To that end, Warroad Schools will operate with a 1:00 PM early dismissal on Friday, September 29, 2023. KidKare will be available and operate beginning at 1:00.
