The school presented a very nice program commemorating this event. Each grade was involved in some way. It was originally scheduled to be on Dec 10, but there was rain and it was postponed...and then the musical accompianist was unavailable so it was rescheduled for this week. And of course, it rained again. So, it was split into different rooms and areas. The middle schoolers gave their presentations in their own rooms. Alexa's grade presented their own greek Gods. Alexa's god was Scholas..God of School. I'm not really sure the connection with the UNHR thing but maybe freedom of religion/culture?? Anyway, it was a cute poster. Andrea and her grade recreated a Picasso painting created to commemorate the revolution in Spain. Here is a website on the original and the anti-war statement it represents:

Joe worked on a project through his Movie makers after school program. Their group created a short film that read parts of the resolution in Spanish, Catalan, English, Slovak and Thai. It was a very creative film. I'm trying to get the teacher to upload it so we can share it with family. I'll let you know if it's possible.
Jess's class participated in the musical entertainment that was held in the music room. They sang John Lennon's Imagine and What a Wonderful World, I don't know who owns that song.lol It was very moving. Here are some pics of that.
More to come on the Medieval Feast from yesterday.
