Sierra Bonita Elementary had an unexpected visitor this week. Darth Vader from Star Wars came to the school and challenged Alo Tauaese to a lightsaber duel. Alo defeated Darth Vader in a hard fought battle. However, the real excitement was when Darth Vader presented Star Wars tickets to him. It was a fun day for Alo and for Sierra Bonita students and staff.
