Students at Eugene Reimer Middle School celebrated Vaisakhi with a series of performances on Friday morning.

Vaisakhi is a traditional Sikh festival, which celebrates the harvest and marks the beginning of a new solar year.

Students, teachers, family and community members attended the assembly to watch drum performances, traditional dancing, hip hop performances and a Punjabi harvest festival performance.

Students also demonstrated gatka, a traditional form of weapon-based martial arts.

The performances were followed by a Vaisakhi lunch.
