Three of our wonderful International Week presenters, who visited campus to tell our students more about Guatemala, The Philippines, and South Korea! Thanks also to Tr. Bob Kenson, not shown here, who discussed his travels in The Philippines.
THANKS !

Thank you to Tr. Devon and her devoted crew, who navigated the weather and managed an outstanding One World Cafe last Thursday. Tr. Nate's wood-toting station was an unpredicted hit! 

Many thanks to the International Week parent presenters, Josephine Williams and Gina Hart. Their sharing brought such a richness to the festivities. Thanks also to Jenna Wood, nutritionist at ShopRite, who visited to discuss the foods of Guatemala. And of course, a special thanks to Bob Kenson, who is always a willing participant!

This year's One World Cafe, the annual wrap-up to International Week, was a smashing success! See more photos on our Facebook page
