Carnival of Cultures at Berry Hill

A total of twelve countries were represented which included Austria, China, Colombia, France, Greece, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Korea, Spain and the United States. Parent volunteers brought food that was native to their country for everyone to taste and decorated their designated areas to display their culture. Some countries had activities such as origami making and a lantern craft. Other countries had backdrops set up to take photos with different props. India had two drum players come to perform traditional Indian music. China and Greece both performed a traditional dance for everyone to see. Korea had select students show everyone their Tae Kwon Do skills.

This year's International Night Committee Co Chairs, Melissa Casabianca, Melissa Cuoco, Kate Lucano and Fernanda Vudrag planned an outstanding event with a carnival theme. The DJ played songs to represent all 12 countries while a stilt walker walked around juggling. Carnival games were set up for the children to play under two large tents. As a special treat, all students were given a gold fish as a prize at the end of the event.
