UN Day @ School - Friday, 21 October 2011

UN Day @ school...UN Day happens yearly on October 24.  Since the 24^th landed on a MON this year, our school decided to celebrate UN Day the Friday before.  It is such a cool experience.  We had a couple of classes in the morning and then the rest of the day was spent having fun learning about other cultures.  You are encouraged to dress in the colors or costume of your country.  I wore red, white, and blue.  They started out with an assembly in the gym – each elementary classroom had studied a different country and did a little song or dance from the country.  This year the theme of UN Day was Human Rights – so the Mock UN Class read the preamble to the Declaration of Human Rights and then we saw a short video.  The senior class did this drum line and lead everyone in the gym over to the food booths.  They had about 15 booths set up and parents had volunteered to bring food, games, info from their country and you basically just walked around and ate, listened to the different music, watched dancing from different cultures, etc.  It was a tiring but such an enjoyable day.
