Our Multi-Cultural Day was a blast!

Christiana and her mom set up a table for Lebanon at the first annual SGS Multi-Cultural Fair

We invited students and parents into the Big Gym to learn about and share information and traditions of the different countries being represented in our school. The result was a fun day of cultures and histories, along with some very good food. 

We asked some students to share facts about the countries they were representing that day. Check them out, along with some photos:
