There's nothing more that I'd like to do
Than take the floor and dance with you
Keep dancin', let's keep dancin'

A Passage to India
Your child can join Mrs. Shah for four weeks of fascinating fun as she shares her knowledge of Hindi language and culture with our students. Mrs. Shah has been an Assistant Teacher at Landmark for ten years, and lived for many years in India. She is a wonderful resource for our students and we are delighted that she has agreed to offer this special after-school activity for our Fours, Fives and Kindergarten students. Registration forms will be sent home in your child’s backpack.
