Students from William Penn Elementary in Salt Lake watch Navajo weavers in Deer Valley Thursday. The children have adopted Navajo grandmothers in the Adopt-A-Native-Elder program. They met their grandmothers and presented gifts from drives they conducted at their schools. The 20th Navajo Rug Show this weekend at Deer Valley raises money for the elder program.
