LCO Students Tobacco Planting

Submitted by Wendy Torstenson
 





A grant was provided to the Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwe High School by the Wisconsin Native American Tobacco Prevention under the Great Lakes Inter-Tribal Council to plant, grow, and harvest native tobacco used in traditional ceremonies.  To start the project, Ho-chunk tobacco seed was obtained from the Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwe College farm.  Biology students then prepared seed trays in the classroom to germinate the seeds and placed the trays under grow lights purchased with funds from the grant.  After 6 weeks of growth, seedlings were transplanted into larger individual containers.  On June 3, 2014, the freshman and sophomore biology classes went to the college farm to place the tobacco seedlings in the ground.  After weathering a Wisconsin summer, the plants will be harvested in the fall, cured, and then offered to the schools for use in ceremonies.

A total of $1,172.68 was raised by the students and staff of the Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwe and Waadookodaading Schools in a recent "PENNIES FOR A CURE" drive. Shown here are the students in Mrs. Brenda Wisner's Fifth Grade class that raised the top amount for the entire school ($285.54). They earned a $50.00 cash prize for a party for the class. 

There is a special prize for the Pre-K class (Ms. Marchant), Kindergarten classes (Ms. Donaghue and Ms. Wergeland) as they raised a close $226.63. Other groups that won top honors include 8th Graders with $51.26, Sophomore class with $86.75, and Waadookodaading Pre-K and Kindergarten with $46.33.

"It is so heartwarming to see all the students and staff involved in such a worthwhile project", states Sue Taylor, project coordinator. A special Miigwech goes out to Linda Tennis, Terry Barber, Penny Beaulieu, Shannon Quaderer, and the staff at the LCO Federal Credit Union for all their help in transporting money and counting it for us.
