gives them is something that stays with them. >> teachers are volunteers, they they they have been, they they've been dancing with us since, they were 7 or 8 years old. they went went working, build their families. and now they volunteer to come back. >> they come back to share the art, the dance, the sisterhood, a link that they hope gets passed down to generations to come in san francisco. claudine wong, ktvu, fox two news. >> well, temperatures definitely cooling off over the past few days. we're kind of stuck in this pattern with just lots of clouds in the morning, then some 60s and some 70s into the afternoon hours. and that'll be the pattern as we move into your weekend, take a look at the highs from this afternoon. not incredibly hot. you can see just some 60s for san francisco. hayward 71 and the warmest locations inland only in the upper 70s. so much cooler than the past a couple of days. so here's the plan this weekend. saturday, we'll have some cloud cover in the morning, partly sunny into the afternoon hours, and then on sunday, partly sunny
