At the dance performance

This banquet was a big coming together of all the 8th grade students, their parents and teachers as a benefit for the upcoming cultural exchange program in China.  All the 8th graders will be going to China for two weeks of travel and learning.  They will each stay with a family and go to school for 5 days.  They performed traditional Chinese dance and music, did skits about the weather and shopping in China...and also showed off (above) their blossoming teenaged selves.
