The method in this study uses a qualitative approach with an ethnographic design. The ethnographic model used is descriptive ethnography because it describes local cultural values in Wonogiri Regency. The place of research was conducted in one of the elementary schools in Wonogiri Regency. Data were collected from interviews, documentation, and observations. The results of the study show that the introduction of local culture in elementary schools can be done by introducing dance, types of musical instruments, folk songs, and regional languages, and integrating local products that must be guarded and preserved. Preservation of local cultural values is an effort made by schools as educational institutions to make the values of art, language, and folk songs as the basis for efforts to form the characteristics of love for the homeland.
