Tibbetts Middle School seventh-graders in Grace Blackwater's Navajo language class draw a dibŽ y‡zhi (baby goat) as part of their assignment. Blackwater is one of 19 Navajo language teachers and teacher's assistants in the Farmington Municipal School District's bilingual program. Navajo language classes are offered at all but one school in the district.
