The school Chase attends (Lincoln International School) had their biggest event of the year - International Day. There are 63 countries represented in the school - which astonishes me! I absolutely love it and it is really fun to be a part of it! It also makes me very proud to be American and to share our traditions as well as learn about all the other traditions.
The day started off with some speeches, a parade of countries, a 'talent' show of sorts (per country). The idea was to do a musical number representing your country - the Americans did The Cupid Shuffle. :) Once the program was over, let the FUN begin! There were food tents set up all over the grounds where countries gave samplings of their traditional food. Oh my - it was crazy! So many people! But wonderful at the same time! Well done Lincoln!
*I've posted a few of my favorite pics from the day to hopefully give you an idea of what was all around us!
