Parkville School hosted a World’s Fair for pre-K and kindergarten students on March 1, taking them “around the world” so they could learn about other cultures.

Students traveled to stations throughout the gymnasium that were decorated with flags and souvenirs from several countries, including the United States, Colombia, India, Israel, Italy, Japan, and Peru. Parent volunteers at each station spoke about the traditional clothing, food, languages, and activities from their heritage.

This culminating event wrapped up a month-long focus on world cultures that started with the school’s Lunar New Year celebration on Feb. 5.
