International Day

The popularity of this year’s International Day soared beyond anyone’s expectations as over 1500 people came on campus in March to watch elementary and middle school students from Ain Aar and Ras Beirut put on impressive performances representing the countries of Argentina, Syria, Zimbabwe, Romania, Bahamas, Bolivia, Nepal and Sweden. The students, all from Grade 3/CE2 and Grade 6/sixième, have been studying ‘their’ countries and thanks to teachers and parents (and physical plant personnel who set up a 21m x12 stage!) – the event was a hit. Following the performances held at the IC football field, guests were treated to spectacular displays along the campus which included a variety of the countries’ local delectable dishes.
