Berryhill American Heritage Month Newsletter: Week 1
What started at the turn of the century as an effort to gain a day of recognition for the significant contributions the first Americans made to the establishment and growth of the U.S., has resulted in a whole month being designated for that purpose
Berryhill Public Schools would like to take this opportunity to highlight some of Native American families whose ancestors have made long standing contributions to our Berryhill community.
Please enjoy our Berryhill Native American Heritage Month Newsletter: Week 2, produced by our Indian Education (Title VI and JOM) parent committees!

COVID VACCINE INFORMATION
The Muscogee (Creek) Nation Department of Health is now offering vaccines to Natives 16 years and older. We have developed an automated vaccine information line to assist with communicating general vaccine information and availability. If you have Native students (16 years and older) and Native teachers interested in receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, please ask them to contact our vaccine information line.
The vaccine information line can be accessed at: (918)758-3601.
Below is a list of the information line’s menu options.
1. General Vaccine Information
2. Option to leave name/phone number to sign up for the vaccine
1. This option is set up with a mailbox specific to each clinic – Eufaula, Coweta, Okemah, Okmulgee, Sapulpa, Wetumka and it is monitored daily.
2. Those interested in receiving the vaccine should choose the clinic closest to them or the clinic offering a vaccination event on a particular date of interes
3. Adverse Reaction Information
1. Option to leave name/phone number to report a perceived adverse reaction as a result of a vaccine MCNDH has administered. This is monitored daily and considered an option.
