Cultural Richness

This academic year Rosslyn Academy has students from 40 countries. Each year the school celebrates this diversity with a Cultural Richness Festival. Students wear traditional clothing, bring traditional foods for an International Feast, and share dance, music, and stories from their country.

Under each flag students presented posters and information about their home country. Simon and Max got African braids and flags painted on their faces. Max and his classmates made Korean origami “quilts”. There were also performances of Ukrainian dance, Korean dance, a guest clarinetist from Korea, and international choirs.


Simon’s class prepared maps of their home countries – made from cakes and cookies.
