What a performance!  What an event!  By all accounts, Kuumba Day 2011 was a fantastic success. Creativity was on display all over the Rue Gym, but most especially during the spirited African dance number performed by our third graders. A right of passage since Elysian's first year, the Kuumba Dance was sensational with all the kids giving it their all.  Thanks to YaYa, our Kuumba leader, the 3rd grade parent commmitee, the PTSO, and of course, our fabulous third grade teachers, Ashley and Amanda for treating the entire Elysian community to a day of creativity and fun.
