All seems well in the Darling nursery — until the children are whisked into the night sky by the mischievous Peter Pan. There they are tossed into the wondrous island that is Neverland.

Our students and families have worked tirelessly to create the sounds, light, props, sets, and costumes for TeachNW's second-ever theater production.

November: Native American Heritage Month We observe Native American Heritage Month in November to recognize the achievements and contributions of Native Americans. SOME HISTORY... The first American Indian Day in a state was declared on the second Saturday in May 1916 by the governor of New York. Several states celebrate the fourth Friday in September. Starting in 2014, many other cities and states adopted the holiday. In 1990, President George H. W. Bush approved a joint resolution designating November 1990 “National American Indian Heritage Month.” Similar proclamations, under variants on the name (including “Native American Heritage Month” and “National American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month”), have been issued each year since 1994. -- www.ofsn.org
