We have begun a month long investigation of the Northwest Coast Peoples. The lush environment of the Pacific Northwest Coast shapes the art and lives of its residents. We will discuss the basic needs of Northwest Coast Peoples 2,000 years ago. We will examine a halibut hook, cedar specimen, and other objects to infer how innovative peoples have harvested the rich resources of the Northwest Coast to meet their everyday needs. We will explore how symbolism carries meaning in totem poles, and create our own totem poles.

Our community member, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc, donated a large amount of school supplies to the Hyde Park Refugee Project. HPRP has used these supplies with Ray's HELP after school EL tutoring program. We thank the AKAs for their far-reaching and much needed and appreciated supplies.
After a week long study of the symbols of Day of the Dead, we created our own sugar skulls with symbols that were meaningful for us. We were also careful to use symmetry of both color and shape. Great job students!
