Today was our school's first ever International Day, and we were eager to help out and join in on the festivities. The event started with a parade where students from each country marched around the outside play space, dressed in traditional clothing. Then everyone was given a little passport to take to each country's booth inside the school. Booth included delicious cuisine native to each country as well as activities and music. At one point, the Jordan booth blasted some traditional music and demonstrated their own dancing while everyone else circled around to watch.
The girls especially liked the Canadian booth where they got to play floor hockey. Taelyn and her best friend, Dana, even took on three different boys and won! Afterward, Taelyn was eager to tell us that the boys didn't even know how to hold the stick properly, and she did because her daddy taught her this past summer in Grandma Walker's basement. The girls also really liked the USA booth because they got to make USA flag pinwheels.
Other highlights of the day were collecting bracelets from the India booth and the food at the Panama booth - courtesy of the Emir's (Qatar King) personal chef. It was delicious!
We are so grateful that our school actually held an international festival this year, and it was great to see the girls emersed with so many other cultures. The photos below show a little bit of that diversity while also supporting their home country. Taelyn is pictured her Dana from Australia and Selma from the USA while Kaelia is with Eli from the USA and Ghalia (one of her best friends this year) and Maysum from Jordan.
