We welcomed global sensation Victoria Burnett to share stories with students from 1st-5th grade about our nation’s Forgotten Heroes. Ms. Burnett captivated each audience as she shared stories and music about Buffalo Soldiers and encouraged our kids to learn about and share stories of our own families and ancestral history.
