Wednesday Afternoon: Guest speakers Music and Friendship books

Notices:
Please bring back signed field trip forms:
Friday is Greek Lunch day provided by the local Greek Community for every person in the school.





Leslie Mc Gary from the Native Friendship Center came and prepared us for tomorrow's Field trip to the Museum. She talked about aboriginal government, language clothing, customs, cedar trees (trees of life), the Potlatch, talking circles and many other topics as well as sharing special blankets and artifacts with the students.

Our students were very focused and listened with great respect and we were able to have some of our students share a drum song with her under the guidance of Mrs. Awalt who along with the school was given the song by Louise Melbourne.

The talk went quite long so the students only had about 10 min of music with Mrs. Awalt to practice their recorders.

After music the students had time to catch up on missing work and finish their Friendship mini-Book due next Monday.

See you all tomorrow.
