Fifth grade had guest speakers today. The Tilo family presented on their Samoan culture including their traditions, language, attire, food and dance. Fifth grade chose Samoa to study for our Living Traditions celebration and Ms. Fatai, who is from the Pacific Island of Tonga, asked her former students to share with her current students. This was a great educational opportunity and we are very grateful to the Tilo family.
