| Ellis is truly an international school!
This year our International Day is dedicated to Frederick and Jan Mayer
for their support of Ellis Students and commitment to School
Excellence!
|
|
International Day is a tradition at Ellis Elementary School.
|
|
With 25 different languages spoken at Ellis, May 3, 2007 is
truly a celebration of cultures. It is also a culmination of
the work students have done in their classrooms. Each classroom
chooses a country to study. On the morning of May 3, 2007
each primary classroom pairs up with an intermediate classroom to
present what they have learned via an original game, play, song or
story. Last year while floating down the Nile a second grade
class learned about Egypt. The game was designed by their 5th
grade buddies. |

At 12:30 P.M., students, parents, and members of the
community will gather on our new Learning Landscape to begin
a parade around the block. This year the parade will be lead
by a Scottish Bagpiper. Many students dress in their country's
traditional costumes. Then it's back to school for tasting
International Cuisine under our colorful World Bazaar Tents,
dancing folk dances, singing folk songs, watching International
Entertainment, playing international games and making art. There
will also be an opportunity to see displays about the countries the
students studied. It is a fun afternoon and a great opportunity to
observe children from all over the world celebrating their uniqueness. |

At Ellis, we soar towards excellence! |
