On March 11, PTF had our second big event of the year – International Family Fun Night. This really is one of the most amazing events at our school. It’s an evening dedicated to celebrating all of the rich cultures that make up our community.
The first half of the night is spent “visiting” different countries. Families take over an elementary classroom and transform it into a showcase of their culture. This year six families volunteered to share about their home cultures. We learned about Great Britain, Ethiopia, India, Peru, South Korea, and the Philippines. So much rich culture, and so much amazing food!
The school is celebrating it’s 25 year anniversary this year, so Reesa and Nicki made a HUGE cake to help us celebrate. It took them eight days! It only took the rest of two hours to eat it. 🙂
The second half of the night is spent watching our amazing students, parents, and teachers share their multi-cultural talents. We got to watch some beautiful Indian dancing, an African skit, and American line dancing. We got to hear a Maori praise haka, an international friendship song, the New Zealand national anthem, a Korean zither and drum duet, a traditional Filipino song, and an American ode to Pringles. We are surrounded by some pretty amazing talent!
