Culture Night with David Boxley

This event was coordinated by our First Nations Clubs in the Kent School District. Our vision was to see the clubs work as a leadership council, planning and implementing one culture night and giving students a sense of self accomplishment and cultural pride. This allowed the students to plan and organize a culture experience while earning community service credits they can apply towards their graduation requirements. The clubs currently have 22 total members, but the event generated over 100 guests ranging in age.

The Drums Project

The Kentlake High School Native Club Students created and designed their own drums as a project in 2008. The drum making sessions focus on the traditional methods of drum making and encourage students to participate in multicultural celebrations in the surrounding areas. Native students are encouraged to demonstrate their artistic talents and craft a personal drum.
