“Live from Mali, West Africa” with Souleymane (Solo) Sana was presented via Zoom to students, in school and at home, in grades 3 through five at Bangert Elementary School on Thursday, Feb 25.

The class learned an African dance and viewed a dance performed by Solo. Students also learned about African musical instruments and were able to ask questions about life in Mali such as what kind of shoes do they wear and what type of clothing do they wear to keep cool in Mali.
