International Day 2016!
St. Jude Celebrated diversity by having an International Day! Each class studied different countries all year. Students wore colors that represented the flag colors from the different countries. Each class sang songs and danced to music from the different countries. Parents volunteered by setting up tables to represent their cultures. Students got to taste foods and learn about the different cultures. Each student filed out a passport with stamps from all the nations. It was an amazing day and we all learned so much! Thank you to everyone who made this day possible!
Our Welcome Table- Students each got a passport to get stamped at each country they visited. 











The beautiful backdrop Mrs. White made for the musical performances. 














Even the babies got to celebrate!
