UN Day

Thursday, Nov. 12, will be United Nations Day in the ES. 

The ES UN Day is an opportunity for us to celebrate our cultural diversity at DAA, something we are truly proud of! ES students may come dressed in their country’s traditional dress or the colors of their country's flag.

The morning will begin with a Parade of Nations (similar to the parade that starts the Olympic Games) around the track. All children from grades 3­-5 will be walking in the parade in groups with other children from their same country.  

Parents are invited to join us on the main field between 8:05am and 8:30am to watch the Parade of Nations. We ask that you please stand on the inside of the track to watch. 

Hope to see you all there cheering on the many United Nations of DAA!

PS. Students, we will be having an assembly from 11:20-11:50 in the auditorium. To prepare for this, please practice this song during the week. (We will be singing it as a whole division.)
