Samohi Celebrates Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month
The Samohi Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) student clubs successfully hosted a Celebration in honor of AAPI Heritage Month. With the help of Ms. Emily Kariya, Japanese Language teacher, and a generous sponsorship from the PTSA, Koshin Taiko performed during lunchtime. Taiko is a traditional style of Japanese drumming that students were fortunate to experience, many for the first time ever. AAPI Alliance, a new community organization whose stated purpose is to "empower AAPI students and their community", co-hosted this special event.
