No One could have quite prepared me for the amazingly colorful gala events of UN Day on Friday at the elementary school and the International Food Fair the next day. Once again I am in awe of the ability of a single school to celebrate the diversity of its students in such a thoughtful and fun way!
Over 50 countries were represented by students.
Students wore traditional costumes from their native countries: Paraguay, Spain, India and China.
Scotland and Hungary. Those of us from the U.S. were mighty boring!
On Saturday close to 30 countries had booths selling ethnic foods for the AES International Food Fair. Everything from pirogis to Belgium waffles. The amount of work by parents was astounding. And to top everything off, I won one of the huge baskets of goodies being raffled off. Great weekend.
