Marshallese Students

     Diversity is a unique way of learning. At Chadron High School we have diversity in our student body in our Marshallese students. A majority of the Marshallese at Chadron High School moved to Chadron for the opportunity of a better education and their church. The Marshallese here are Christian and go to church on Wednesdays at 6 and Sundays at 4.
    Some of their challenges at Chadron High are making new friends that have a different culture than them and when teachers use big academic words, but other than that they can speak and understand English well. 
    Some of their favorite parts about Chadron are the parks, basketball courts, and that it is safe enough to walk around. Many of the Marshallese at Chadron High stick within their small group of Marshallese and family, but some venture out and hangout with other students too.
    Music is big in their culture. They love to sing and dance and play the ukulele. A child's first birthday is huge also in their culture. For a child's first birthday they throw a huge party with lots of singing and dancing.
      There are about 15 Marshallese students that go to Chadron High. The Andres, Lakabung, and Eleuterios are all related and then the Wataks are just family friends.
