Noche Puertorriqueña
Puerto Rico has a very rich culture -- from its typical (and very tasty) food, to folkloric dance, to the beautiful countryside and colorful music. Each year, WA students of all ages spend an entire week celebrating this heritage, with a grand closing event culminating in poetic song, traditional bomba y plena dance, and an elegant waltz called La Danza Puertorriqueña. The Elementary Art class prepares for this event by working on art crafts representative of Puerto Rico and its unique culture. Enjoy the photos!
Miss Connie Cornell retired from WA after 42 years of service. She is deeply loved by our alumni and teaching staff who remember her dedication and hard work for the Lord. We always love to hear from her!
