SRLA Celebrates Black History Month

This week, our students had the incredible opportunity to experience a dynamic assembly in honor of Black History Month, featuring Yahaya Kamate, a renowned dancer and teaching artist. A former member of the National Ballet of the Ivory Coast and current instructor at Alvin Ailey, Mr. Kamate brought the rhythms of African dance and drumming to life, sharing his culture and talent with our school. We were honored to host his engaging performance and interactive teaching.
