Selfridge Public School was honored to welcome Koda Two Hearts for a memorable presentation that captivated students with powerful storytelling and the soulful sounds of traditional flutes. His message of resilience, cultural pride, and making positive life choices resonated deeply with our students. Each child created a personal vision booklet, reflecting on their goals and the steps they can take to shape a bright future. It was a day filled with music, meaning, and motivation—one we won’t soon forget!
