International Night

With the official start of my cake business and a few orders in the works, I was too busy to post this one that took place last week. Tyler's school had their annual International Night. Steve was working the event for the newspaper and came home to pick us up for the event. We weren't planning on going at first because Tyler had been battling the stomach flu, but in the end we are so thankful we didn't miss out on this wonderful event. 

There are so many different students from different nationalities at his school that it was nice to see them being represented at this event. It gave the kids a chance to learn about where some of their friends come from. We started out by grabbing some food in the cafeteria where they had booths set up for different countries. Each country had several different foods to sample and all of it was so good! As we sat down and ate, the school's Bollywood dancers performed some dance routines for us. It was so cute to see the kids on the stage.

Next we headed to the different classrooms where they were converted into different countries. As you entered each class, the kids could get their passport stamped. Then we sat down and listened to a story native to that country. The best was Germany where we entered Hansel and Gretel's house. It was very well done!

The class that had the most student attend the event had a chance to win a pizza party. Well, Tyler's teacher promoted enough to her class and ended up winning! Tyler was so happy about that. The photos shown are the ones taken by Steve for the paper. We were so impressed with International Night that we are already excited about next year's event. Steve wants us to have a Canada booth there...
