"St. Labre is different from other schools I have attended."
"In other schools, the teachers were, well, teachers. Here, they are my friends. I feel like I'm part of one big family at St. Labre." — Chontay
This has been an amazing year at St. Labre and we just wanted to say thank you on behalf of all of our teachers, staff and especially our students.
- LaCee Small,
St. Labre Elementary School Principal
The Beadwork Institute
This highly popular St. Labre program empowers students to create intricate, culturally significant artwork that honors their heritage. Students build their skills in a range of traditional and contemporary Native American media. Each year, our artists enter items in the Heard Museum Guild’s Youth Art Show & Sale in Phoenix, Arizona. This prestigious event allows them to compete against their peers on a national stage, exhibit in the "world's preeminent museum for Indian art," and gain the entrepreneurial experience of selling their original creations, if they choose (many prefer to keep their item).
Thanks to your generous support last year, the exceptional work of our school children in The Beadwork Institute won awards at the 2025 Heard Museum Youth Art Show & Sale, in Phoenix, AZ, on March 2-3, 2025.
