International Fiesta Day 1

The SAIS International Fiesta kicked off today with a Celebration of our Heritage. Parent and student groups performed various acts on stage that celebrated their country's heritage. Pretty fun...



Country Flags hung all over the gym



A choir of moms sang songs from Australia



Traditional Indonesian Dancing by mom and daughter



Another Indonesian Dance by Grade 3 girls



Fashion show of traditional Pakistani clothing



And then came Korea. Can't make this stuff up people.



You can believe that up in the front row was Luke. He was the third child to bolt up when the song came on and start dancing. He's a sucker for Gangnum Style. Let's be honest, aren't we all?

After Korea was a UK/US rock band. They held their own and played a few great hits. Here's a bit of "Come Together" by The Beatles.


Tomorrow we look forward to the International Parade of Nations (over 50 countries will be represented), an International Buffet (where foods from over 15 countries will be served) and a "Think Big" International Trivia contest & debate. Should be a great way to celebrate all of the countries we represent AND kick off spring break. Can't wait!
