Drumming and chants of “Ashe, Ashe” filled the solar awning Wednesday afternoon as the Echo People returned to VIMSIA in a long standing tradition of sharing VI Culture with our students during Black History Month. It was a feast for the senses. Students answered questions about our national flora and fauna, smelled bay leaves and learned to dance Bamboula.
In celebration of African and Caribbean Black History Month, on Wednesday, February 28th Virgin Islands Montessori School and Peter Gruber International Academy students, faculty and staff welcomed back the cultural experience that has taken place at the school for over 12 years - The Echo People. The African drumming celebration was held under the solar awning and featured a traditional dance class, a lesson on the history of traditional musical instruments and various songs.
