Yearbook Photography Contest Winner

It is with great excitement to announce Isabella Nieto won first prize for the Entourage Yearbook's Photography Contest. Bella beautifully captured The Tewa Singers from the North as they danced the deer dance and Zuni women's dance during Feast Day. The group features former and current staff, alumni, and current students from SFIS. Photographs were submitted to the contest by Erica McFadden, former yearbook sponsor, and went through two phases of judging. The first phase was an open collection of votes on the website and the second round Entourage's professionals selected the winners. Santa Fe Indian School will be receiving a reward in the coming month.
