INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL

 

UNITED NATIONS PROGRAM
October 24, 2005

       

  October is a month of important events.  International School celebrates United Nations day as part of its bilingual cultural and academic program.  Miss Yvonne, director and teachers prepare children from kindergarten and primary levels to perform important aspects of other cultures and to give significant statistics about noteworthy values which are international, not country-specific. 

The program, which was in English and Spanish, started after saluting the Mexican flag.  Then there was a parade with flags of many countries from around the world.  Some children wearing country-specific costumes participated in the parade.

 Martin Luther King´s love for humanity with his human rights philosophy was demonstrated by the third graders. The fifth graders mentioned the latest Nobel Awards which were given this year, and first graders performed:  “Los Niños Amamos al Planeta”, while the second graders presented a theme on peace.

 Nursery and kindergarten also participated, dancing to “El Mundo Pequeño”.  This celebration also had the traditional round table, presented by the sixth graders, with discussions and debates on important issues which involve all countries.  This year they focused on weather disasters and the consequences these had on people, their territories, and the economy as a whole. 

At the end, all children sang in Spanish “Que Canten los Niños” and in English “Sing”.  A dove flew over the grounds, representing peace, and there was a minute of  silence for those people who suffered from the natural disasters.
