At Seven Oaks Elementary School, the spirit of global exploration is alive and well. Today, the school's grounds have transformed into a bustling hub of cultural exchange as kindergarten to fifth-grade students set off on an educational odyssey, navigating through the customs, flavors, and sounds of four distinct nations.

A Festive Welcome

The day began with the lively strumming of a mariachi band, their festive tunes a beacon for the day's adventures. This musical welcome was the perfect overture to the Cultural Carnival, an event dedicated to broadening horizons and fostering an appreciation for the world's rich cultural mosaic.

A World of Discovery

Each classroom-turned-country offered a unique vignette into the lives of its people. The students' journey was enlightening and entertaining, from India's vibrant sports and fashion to Italy's historical artifacts and artisanal crafts. Colombia and Venezuela further enriched the experience, sharing their cultural treasures and inviting the students to partake in the joy of discovery.
