Bandera ISD Students Celebrate Bandera!

Bandera, Texas ● September 4, 2009

         Bandera ISD students from Alkek Elementary School and Hill Country Elementary School learned and participated in the Celebrate Bandera Circle of Life Intertribal Powwow held at Mansfield Park. Just one of the many events during Bandera’s 154th Anniversary Celebration weekend, the Circle of Life Powwow was a great way for students to enjoy and learn about the American Indian culture. Throughout the day, students moved from station to station and discovered history in action.
