International Night Celebrates Diversity

 

 

Thursday evening over 100 people enjoyed International Night as Centennial celebrated cultural diversity with food, fun, and festivities from 18 countries:  Mexico, El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Russia, Ukraine, India, Brazil, Haiti, Senegal, Kenya, Cameroon, Laos, USA, Peru, Colombia, and Uruguay.

Centennial’s JROTC presented America’s flag, and the chorus sang the National Anthem.  Performances included students demonstrating a mixed Latin dance and Urban Village Media performing a Capoeira demonstration (Afro Brazil martial arts dance).  Participants had the opportunity to support Centennial and our ESOL families while expressing pride in their cultures.
