Forest Hill Elementary School

Celebrating Asian & Pacific American Heritage Month

The month of May is Asian & Pacific American Heritage Month

Forest Hill has a wonderful variety of cultures and langauges that we celebrate. The month of May is Asian & Pacific America Heritage Month, and one way we showed our appreciation of this group's contributions to our culture is with our Taiko Drums assmbely. Members of San Jose Taiko performed and taught us about the components of Taiko - attitude, kata (stance), musical technique, and ki (life force energy). Students even got the chance to perform! We love San Jose Taiko. Thank you to 2nd grade teachers for organizing this fun and energizing assembly.Taiko drummers
