- 6:00 PM – The Parade of Countries will begin in the Family Life Center, featuring a traditional dance and student presentations.
- After the parade, families are invited to tour classrooms to view projects and sample food from around the globe.
Thank you for helping your child to complete the diorama of a famous landmark in Paris! We can’t wait to see them! The dioramas are due on Friday, April 25th. We are working on perfecting our reports to go along with our displays. We are really getting excited for the International Fair, which will be on Thursday, May 1st! This will be such a fun event – you won’t want to miss it! Please be sure your child has the necessary “costume” for the evening: white button shirt or blouse (Short sleeves are fine and will suit the season.) with black pants for the boys and red skirts for the girls. The students will be wearing white gloves, berets, and scarves that will be provided here at school.
