West University Elementary School students learned about cultures from around the world at The Heritage Performance & International Festival. Fourteen teams of students performed, representing 25 countries around the world. Chairs were Natesha Madison and Enrica Vagliani, and emcees were Marquesa Madison, Nicholas Harjadi, Shiv Khera and Piper Egan. Pictured are students performing a traditional dance of La Pollera Colora to represent Colombia: Sebastian Loebe, Sophie Loebe, Matias Estrada, Emma and Elena Bernal, Liliana Calderon (mother of Sebastian and Sophie), and Luis Gomez.
