We had a spectacular assembly on Friday, December 16, 2005 which was a culmination of our month long cultural study of Central America. The title of the program was La Voz de Nuestros Tejidos y Musica Maya - The Voice of Our Mayan Music and Textiles, a production of Raices Culturales Latinoamericanas and The School in Rose Valley.
