Elders' Wisdom, Children's Song Celebration

The fourth graders are busy preparing for our Elders’ Wisdom, Children’s Song community celebration. This project incorporates community, history, education, and celebration through storytelling, song, and spoken word. Each fourth-grade class interviewed an elder from the community and has written a song inspired by the elder’s life story. Families are invited to join us as the fourth graders honor these elders in a community celebration on Monday, May 8, at 6:30 p.m. at the SLP Middle School. Contact Sra. Wieber with questions.

Our district acknowledges you for the important role you play helping children feel seen and heard so their brilliance can shine. All of us in the school community are grateful for your commitment to our students.
