🌟 Special Cultural Showcase – Featuring Hoop Dancer Tara Kingi! 🌟
We are excited to announce that we will be hosting professional hoop dancer Tara Kingi during an assembly on November 17 at 9:30 AM!

As part of this celebration, we invite Native American students who have regalia to participate in an opening intertribal dance. An intertribal song (2–3 minutes) will be played, and all dance styles are welcome.

This is a powerful opportunity for students to share their culture, build confidence, and shine in front of their peers—followed by an inspiring performance by Tara Kingi.
✨ If your student would like to participate in the opening dance, we will call students down to the gym area to get dress prior to the assembly✨
We look forward to honoring culture, tradition, and student pride together!
