Hotchkiss student Billy Meneses will join the NorthEast-Millerton Library and Scoville Memorial Library via Zoom from Pennsylvania to share his Colombian heritage with us – and lead us in a craft to make a pan flute out of straws! He will talk about the symbolism behind the Colombian flag and some of the important Colombian festivals. We will also hear a folk tale called “The Walking Tadpole.” (Frogs, anyone?)
Look Colombia up on a map before we start and feel free to ask Billy questions!
Kids will need 8 straws, scissors and masking tape to complete the flute project.
