Indian Cultural Day from Two Perspectives


From Shreya:

This week was Indian Cultural Day!  It was an amazing experience.  One of the activities we had was rangoli art.  Two people from each math period were in each group.All together we made

detailed and colorful designs. Sai’s mom had also come and made an example of a real rangoli drawing. I think they all looked good.

After the Rangoli we approached the cafeteria to do our "Jai Ho" dance that we have been working on during Expressions for the past week and at home. Every class had their own unique ending to the dance with solos and human pyramids. Seventh period also had a skit about Sarasvathi. At the end we had some students from sixth and seventh grade doing some Indian folk dances for us. They were very cool to watch and lifted all our spirits. Then Taiko had a performance for us that shook us in our seats. Then all of a sudden we had a huge flash mob when we all started to dance to "Jai Ho" together. After we all ate a delicious lunch of Indian food. It was a great day!


From Jaden M.:

Indian culture day was fun for everyone. There was delicious Indian food, dancing, Taiko performances, and rangoli. The Indian food was very tasty in different ways. Some was spicy and others were sweet. The dancing that was done by all of the periods were amazing. I think that my favorite was period 5 because of the human pyramid. Periods 4 and 7 did great too, but I personally liked that one the best. The taiko performances from 6th and 7th grade were great. It looked like they practice and effort. All of the rangoli that was done was great especially Sai’s mom's rangoli.
