World Party

Even though Joe is currently student teaching at Kenowa Hills, he has continued to help his school, Ridge Park, put on their annual World Party, which is our favorite school function.  It's really a week of activities that celebrates the rich diversity within the school, but the highlight of the week is always the World Party family night where each classroom transforms itself into the culture of one of its students. There's food, costumes, food, music, and oh, did I mention the food?
 

This year, Claire enjoyed watching the Brazilian drummers. 

Here she is - blonde hair and blue eyes - in her authentic Mexican dress.

Claire followed her Daddy for much of the evening as

he went from room to room evaluating the classrooms.

There's always a few classes that go all out with their decor.

This year it was the 3rd grade class who celebrated Italy.

 

Santa???

Don't rock the boat, Claire!

World Party is great, but you know what's even better...

cuddling with your kids at the end of a long day.

Now that's a party!
