Thank you to our PTSA our assembly, students enjoyed an assembly featuring One World Taiko, which presents a contemporary style of Japanese drumming that incorporates dynamic and fluid movement as well as heart pounding percussion. Taiko means “drum” in Japanese.
Please do what you can to get your child to share each week. This is a wonderful experience for them to practice speaking in front of a non-threatening group. If they have an opportunity to practice what they are going to say before they come to school, it would make it easier for them.
