Keep Strumming, Ashford!
2020-2021 School Year
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, students stayed within their cohorts and did not engage with the larger community for our usual strum-alongs, mini-concerts, etc. As students learned about kanikapila (Hawaiian ukulele song shares) they were interested in hosting their own. Students requested specific songs and supported each other's choices by strumming along during each song.
Here are some photos from our socially-distanced, cohort-based, outdoor kanikapilas. Stay safe!
