Greetings from Gail

April 12, 2013

What an exciting week we had with our guests from New Zealand, The Maori Dance Theater. Students were treated to an exciting performance Monday. They then learned about a piece of the Maori culture when the performers conducted workshops in their classes. All of this was celebrated at an amazing evening performance Wednesday night. It is so important for our students to learn about different cultures. Our social studies curriculum in the elementary schools is a little light on different cultures so this was a wonderful opportunity to supplement our curriculum.

A special thanks to the Community School Or- ganization (CSO) for contributing funds to support this residency. Thank you to any community members and businesses that supported this as well.
