World Cultures Are Focal Point of Public School’s Fundraising Event
Brown International Academy will hold its second annual International Spring Festival on May 1, 2008. The event will be a joint fundraiser and community building opportunity that embodies the international spirit of the school and its students.
The indoor/outdoor festivity will combine opportunities for the elementary school children to learn about other cultures from around the world while enjoying festival games, foods and performances with their families.
Included in the day’s agenda will be a unique display of culture featuring the Mizel Museum and its Bridges of Understanding traveling exhibit, and Denver Sister Cities International’s volunteer-driven traveling exhibits illustrating the cities of Chennai, India; Axum, Ethiopia; Kunming, China; and Potenza, Italy. Children will be encouraged to view photos, costumes, flags, coins, art objects, maps, amulets and many other treasures from around the world. This event will take place in the school cafeteria from 1:30 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.
The outdoor portion of the festival will be the school’s largest fundraiser of the year. It will feature activities, games and foods representing the traditions and cultures from a variety of countries around the globe, as well as entertainment by local musicians.
