Every year the school puts on a World Experience Day. The school picks a country each year and transforms the gym into markets and cafes and then there is also many different stations in the parish center and throughout the school that the children rotate through during the entire day. This year, it was the Philippians and Vietnam. The day started with the flag ceremony with kids carrying in flags that represented their heritage. I volunteered to work the cafe, so I served Philippians foods. They had volunteers make all these foods! The spring rolls were amazing! They also had a station where the kids learned martial arts, watched two traditional plays put on by the 8th graders and the day ended with a fashion show depicting a typical Vietnamese wedding. It was very interesting. The kids loved it and learned a lot!
