Dear SJA
Families,
As part of
being an IB school we encourage students to demonstrate ‘International
Mindedness’. At St. Jude’s Academy, we value the diversity of cultures and
perspectives that exist in our local, national and global communities to
enhance student learning.
This year,
St. Jude’s Academy will be having our third annual International Mindedness Day on Friday, January 20th, 2017. This
activity will involve JK – Gr. 6 classes and each class will be learning about
one country. Students and teachers will inquire into the life and culture of
citizens from that country.
Students
will be researching many aspects of their country including:
Traditional music and dress
Artwork and dance
Cuisine
Cultural toys, games & sports
Products and exports
Interesting laws/policies
Rules and customs
Parents are
welcome to visit on this day and doors will be open from 2:30pm to 3:15pm.
If you have
any questions or would like to contribute cultural items, suggestions, etc.,
please contact your child’s homeroom teacher or Mrs. Padovan
(kpadovan@stjudesacademy.com).
Thank you!
Mrs. Padovan
