IB Inquiry Week of May 8th

Elders' Wisdom Children's Song

This past week, Peter Hobart 4th graders had the opportunity to honor and celebrate three community elders.  This year’s distinguished honorees included Lt. Governor Peggy Flanagan, Mr. Salim Abdalla, and Mr. Ed Hara.  

Elders’ Wisdom Children’s Song incorporates community organizing, education, and celebration through storytelling in song and spoken word.  After hearing an elder’s oral history, students collectively song-wrote with professional artists Carlos Siguenza, Amanda White, Rev. Anthony Galloway, Joe Davis and Theo Brown.  After analyzing, song-writing, and practicing - students perform their songs for the community and their elder’s.  

Thank you to PH Talent Development teacher, Renee Robinson for coordinating this outstanding intergenerational and multicultural experience for our students.  It is a gift to our community.
