Event Description

As world leaders meet to discuss Chinese President Xi Jinping's proposal to develop a new Silk Road, a group of students in from the Dr. Orlando Edreira Academy No. 26 in Elizabeth, NJ is learning about the Silk Road and taking a virtual journey.

The school's journey on the Silk Road - a partnership between the district and Nai-Ni Chen Dance Company that began in January and included all ten grades from pre-kindergarten through grade eight - will culminate with a presentation on Tuesday, May 23 at 1pm.

This project initiated by principal Howard Teitelbaum and is led by Nai-Ni Chen Dance company and Ms. Alisha Brennan in cooperation with the entire teaching team, Visual Art, Music and Theater Departments.
