Open House
(Left) Scholars prepare the "costume" for a lively Dragon Dance.  6th Grade and 6th/8th Grade Classes reviewed dances from world cultures, including China.  They created rhythms for the dancing and also designed a large dragon.  
A traditional element in dragon dances was featured: a large ball symbolizing a Pearl of Wisdom.
The storyline for the dance follows the dragon’s search for the Pearl of Wisdom.  A  Mentor (bird) heals the dragon after he is injured in a thunderstorm.  Together they use classics (a large book) to discover the Pearl of Wisdom they were seeking.
