Primrose School of Five Forks Students Celebrate Cultures

Over 130 preschoolers in Lawrenceville, dressed in kimonos and saris and toting paper fans, ukuleles and wooden clogs, joined hands on Friday, September 28th to symbolize the unity of children worldwide.

They joined 30,000 children from more than 240 Primrose Schools in 17 states across the nation in the Celebrating Cultures event.

The students sang “It’s a Small World” and sampled ethnic food from around the world and performed traditional songs and dances from the students’ various cultural backgrounds as they sought to embrace the things that make each of them unique in their own special way.

Marking the end of a month-long program dedicated to celebrating cultures, the preschoolers & kindergarteners learned about diversity, their heritage and the importance of acceptance of others despite cultural differences. In Lawrenceville, students at the Primrose School of Five Forks performed the Pledge of Allegiance, shared facts and songs from the various countries that they studied in September and joined together with a friendship chain along with Primrose parents and guest, Mayor Kelly Kautz, City of Snellville.

“Children who have an appreciation for cultural traditions and differences at an early age develop into caring, generous adults who love their community and respect others,” said Cami Nail, franchise owner. “Celebrating Cultures is just one of many unique programs at Primrose that are especially designed to help children develop active minds, healthy bodies and happy hearts.”

Celebrating Cultures is a fundamental part of the Primrose Balanced Learning^® curriculum that highlights diversity and compassion for all people across the world. In partnership with The Music Class^®, an award-winning, international music education company, the Rhythm and Notes^® music curriculum complimented the Celebrating Cultures Event by adding a rich library of music and companion classroom activities.
