Flight: Through Eagle’s Eyes launches Culture Days celebration Kevin Mills Mission Record
Culture Days begins in Mission on Sept. 28 with a full day of events for the community to enjoy. The official launch of the three-day celebration is a special showcase put on by the students of Edwin S. Richards Art Based Curriculum School called Flight: Through Eagle’s Eyes. The launch begins at 11 a.m. with a musical performance by half the students, followed by and interactive art display. The event wraps up just before noon with a second musical performance, by the other half of the students. The song being performed was learned for
the Spring Celebration last year and consists of singing and movement to the song Touch the Sky from the movie Brave. Sharon Widdows, principal of the school, said they are excited to participate in Culture Days 2018 and want to invite the community to the school to explore how students are learning through the arts. As an arts-based curriculum school, every year they choose a theme. “Last year the theme was flight and, because we are working very hard to infuse Aboriginal perspective into our curriculum, we thought we would tell a story through the eyes of an eagle,” explained Widdows.
