In case you missed it...
Galileo High School had their Multicultural event this week that included performances from amazing talents from student organizations! Pasifika Club SF performed a Tongan dance, Hawaiian dance and ended with their Advisor singing a Traditional Samoan Hymn called, Lo Ta Nu'u! Among the talents were performances by the Korean Club, Filipino Club, Black Student Union, and even faculty and staff jumping in on the fun during the DJ's set of line dance music! Congratulations to the Lions for a successful event! Shout out to the Pacific Islander Parents and Matua Advisory Council members for your support and the Tongan 'Otai fruit drink.
