Joe and Vida Galeota presented their A Day in Ghana program for each of the second grade classes. Joe is an Associate Professor at Berklee School of Music who lived in Ghana for many years. Vida, his wife, grew up in Ghana. Together, they took the students on an imaginary tour of Vida’s native village—where the students helped with the morning chores, visited the local schoolhouse, learned about Ghanaian customs, and heard some amazing drumming!
The Galeotas have come to Franklin for over a decade. Their program is fascinating and fun and meshes perfectly with the Grade 2 social studies curriculum.
