GREYWOLF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Kindergarteners at Greywolf had the privilege of have a special guest on March 2. Tommy Hall came in to share with students a little bit about local Native American traditions and culture. He showed the youths drums, a paddle, a picture of some Salish art, taught the kids how to say a few Native words, and even sang a song for them.
