On February 19th, Untalan Middle School students gave a presentation to our 5th grade Ko'ko' birds about their middle school experiences. Hearing them talk about the types of middle school classes and their expectations, clubs, sports, lunches, and navigating those middle school halls made everything feel a little less scary and a lot more exciting for our soon-to-be 6th graders.
A huge shoutout to the amazing presenters — proud former Ko’ko’ Birds — who came back to lift up and inspire the next generation. Once a Ko’ko’, always a Ko’ko’!
Former Ko'ko' birds (L-R): Airie Martinez, Dani Manibusan, Jessie Santos, Katherine Serisola, and Randi Retuyan
