**Club:** On Monday, May 22, the Samohi AAPI student clubs successfully hosted a Celebration in honor of AAPI Heritage month. With the help of Ms. Emily Kariya, Japanese Language teacher, and a generous sponsorship from the PTSA, Koshin Taiko performed during lunchtime. Taiko is a traditional style of Japanese drumming that students were fortunate to experience, many for the first time ever. AAPI Alliance, a new community organization whose stated purpose is to "empower AAPI students and their community", co-hosted this special event.
