1) INTERNATIONAL DAY on Wednesday, March 22
As the day is fast approaching, all the planning is well underway. Booth and central committees are hard at work to put on a fun and delightful day for our students to celebrate diversity. So many decisions from how to best display each country’s beauty to provide a taste of each country’s delicious foods to games that children have grown-up within those countries. There are so many things to plan and so little time. Although hard at work, these parents don’t miss the opportunity to enjoy each other’s company and find pleasure in the process. ALL COMMITTEES are still looking for you! Please help with your time or resources – volunteer, donate or participate – every little assistance is welcomed and very much appreciated!
