UN Day

The kids had UN Day celebrations at school recently. Mommy loves how the International School celebrates diversity. In the weeks leading up to UN Day, the kids learn about many of the countries that their classmates are from.

In the school cafeteria, the parents set up country booths that the kids visit. They get souvenirs or food. Mommy helped make chocolate chip cookies for the American booth.

There was also a concert and parade. My kids represented the U.S. although Joseph said he wanted to walk with the Taiwan flag. Audrey insisted that she is half Indonesian. I guess there is some confusion in her mind about her ethnicity...lol.

Mommy enjoyed UN Day very much. The kids wore Patriotic clothes, and it was so sweet to hear the kids singing "Light a candle for peace." If only world peace were as simple as lighting a candle. It was a lovely song and brought tears to Mommy's eyes.

Time has passed so quickly. Mommy can't believe that a whole year has passed since last UN Day.
