On November 29, 2011, Native Americans Eileen Quintana and Natalie
Billie representing the Navajo and Ute tribes, came to Art City
Elementary School, Springville, to teach the fourth and fifth grade
students about Utah Native American culture.  They showed the students
artifacts such as cradle boards, drums, pottery, and rugs.  Eileen and
Natalie had volunteers come up and try on traditional Native American
dance costumes.  The boy's costume had many yellow and red feathers

The 2nd grade had an opportunity to go to the Scera Shell theatre to see a children's play of "How I Became a Pirate."  The teachers wanted to provide the students an opportunity to see a live musical production.  After the show the entire second grade had the chance to go on stage, meet the cast and take pictures with them.  Several members of the cast have performed with Miss Shoni Winkel and were more than happy to stay and give their time to the students.  The Second grade had read the book “How I Became a Pirate” by Melinda Long and illustrated by David Shannon, &nb
