World Kaleidoscope Day

Written on 7:55 PM by Unknown

World Kaleidoscope Day was a wonderful celebration of a truly great part of our school- the families. It was not just a celebration of the cultures that make up our school, but it was also a chance for our students to learn about themselves and about others. Parents came to school with clothing and artifacts to show, stories of growing up themselves and opportunities for our students to see similarities in life that crossed nationalities and cultures. Every parent volunteer with whom I spoke was very happy with the reception they received from the students and staff. By going into classrooms, parent presenters were in a comfortable group size. This also allowed our students to ask more individual questions. Our staff received a special treat from our parents- delicious foods from around the world including samosas, hummus, and apple pie to name just a few.









Students received "passports" that included information about two nations, classes during their LMC time did research about types of government, natural resources, population numbers and other facts for use in making posters for the event and larger flags were hung in the second floor windows. While it did not alter our regular day schedule, it was an event I am certain they will not soon forget. I thank all of the parents who came in to organize the event, present information about a country or to help decorate the hallways prior to the event. Our staff did a great job of supporting this event, especially Mr. Martin and his hats of the world collection. This was one of our best events this year and I look forward to continuing our work next year.
