It is a day that we celebrate all the different nations at Carissa's school. We have a total of 29 different nationalalities. The kids are supposed to come to school dress in their native country coustume. I know, the US does not have a country costume, but as you can see we were very creative.


The day started out with a "Parade of Flags", where the kids from their home country carried in the flag. The band was playing the theme to the Olympics. I have to say....it was pretty touching.




After the flag ceremony, the 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade classes sang songs about unity and peace.




Carissa had to introduce the 2nd grade class. She got up and spoke in front of the whole school.
