Once a year, Vienna Christian School hosts an International Family Fun Night. Many of the students dress in their native traditional dress. The classrooms in the elementary each become a different country and the kids get their pretend passports stamped as they enter each room. There was food and music from all over the world! It’s a great way to learn about other cultures as well as get to see your own students dress in theirs! At the end of the night there was a talent show where many of the students did cultural dances or played instruments. Hana, with her sisters, played the drums and a symbol in a traditional Korean way. Blessed (the boy in the red to the right) did an African dance with scarves. Sarah did an Egyptian dance to a praise song with her sisters. And my little RJ did a Filipino dance with all the other Filipinos at the school. It was such a neat night! To the right you will see five of my little first graders dressed in their traditional garb.
