Posted by This Friday, November 15, from 6:30-8pm we’ll be having a fun time socializing and learning at Global Cornell, so please join us! If you can walk to Cornell, please do! We have a plan to light the dark walkways this year. 🙂
Global Cornell is a celebration of our school’s cultural diversity where we gather at Cornell for a night of great food, learning, and sharing of our experiences. Cornell Families can sponsor a classroom learning center on their own or in a group to share a common culture. We have lots of families signed up, many for the first time, and we’re so excited!
When you arrive, be sure to pick up your blue passport, make note of where each culture is located, and stop by the Art Room to draw your self-portrait for your passport! There will be two musical performances in the cafeteria starting at 7pm, and at 7:30pm there will be a traditional Dragon Parade through the hallway.
In the past, we’ve had Chinese, Indian, Eritrean, Russian, English, German, Mexican, American, Korean, Canadian, Belgian, Scottish, Greek, American, Dutch, Nepali, Japanese, Polish, Armenian, Moroccan, Turkish, and Lebanese cultures represented!
This year, we will have these cultures:
Mexican (x2!), Korean, Ecuadorian, Lebanese, Spanish, Greek, Belgian, Chinese, Dutch, Scottish, Hmong, French, Indian, and Latin American/Caribbean
Examples of activities in rooms: Henna stations, proper English tea, Korean game show, creation of instruments, special foods for tasting, traditional dress, culturally representative artifacts, etc. It’s an opportunity to be creative and have fun!
Along with cultural learning, it’s a great way to meet up with the parents of your kids’ friends and create new social connections.
We hope to see you there!
