We enjoyed a program by the International Club at Benignus on Friday morning. Benignus student body represents 55 countries...how great is that. They sang and danced and wore authentic costumes for the continents they were representing...USA(North America), Africa, Asia, Antartica, South America. Friday afternoon we went back for the parade. The students in Pre-K, Kindergarten and 1st grade were asked to make a shoe box representing their nationality and culture. Those students who made a shoe box were able to participate in the parade. The other grades were required to make a float from their wagons, bikes and scooters, etc. There were some pretty elaborate floats. You could tell the parents really get into this. Emma did a shoe box showcasing the USA...Elvis, Rock-n-Roll, Jazz, Louis Armstrong, Statue of Liberty, First Man on the Moon, Space Shuttle, Norman Rockwell and Mount Rushmore. The top of the box was a replica of the US Flag. We also looked up the nationalities of all the family surnames. We have a quite diverse family. She was pretty proud of it.
