A highlight of this year’s May Day is a celebration of school spirit, with two grade five\u00a0student representatives from each of eight elementary schools serving as the Royal Suite hosting the event. Highlights will include the coronation of the May Queen, the grade three folk dances, and the grade four Maypole dances, in which students work together as a team in mastering the complicated steps.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n![\"P2](\"https:\/\/newwestschools.ca\/archive_241212\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/P2-group-3282-cropped-1-640-boys.jpg\")
