Heritage Fair Fun - Not Sad it's Done

Well, it's all over but the crying (tears of happiness)!! Heritage Fair is something that has been happening here at ISNS for years and although it's truly wonderful it certainly adds to the workload.

Quick review: the concept of Heritage Fair
The premise of Heritage Fair is to celebrate the many different cultures/nationalities of the students that attend ISNS. Each class must pick a country, they learn about that country, create projects and then put them on display so that they can educate visitors on what they have learned. It's a wonderful opportunity for students to not only learn about one particular country but the students are then introduced to many others when the Heritage Fair takes place (students teaching students). It's important for students, especially being in such an international setting, to learn the importance of acceptance. It is a week or two in a school year that we spend celebrating the many different cultures of students that our kids see passing through the hall ways each day.

Anyway! It was a huge success and the students Loved learning about Egypt! They also really enjoyed showing off their projects and knowledge of ancient Egypt with the students and parents coming through during the Fair :) It was a lot of work but well worth it - until next year!! haha
