Students learn about culture

Cherokee National Educational Services visited Roland Elementary last week where students had the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the Cherokee language, as well as learning about Cherokee games. The students played stickball (closely related to lacrosse), marbles (played with balls rolling toward pins), games of graces (throwing and catching wooden ring with wooden sticks), and chunky (throwing of spears). While it was very interactive, it was great fun to see the students learn more about the Cherokee culture. Roland Public Schools sends a giant thank you to Cherokee Nation and the representatives who taught the students.
