Around the world in West U
West University Elementary School's annual international festival featured more than 20 different countries from around the world.
Martina Luke-Dorn, principal Scott Disch, Julie Gibson (top row, from left), Pippa Gibson, Ella Gibson, and Henry Gibson (bottom row, from left) enjoyed West University Elementary School’s (WUES) annual international festival that featured more than 20 different countries from around the world. Families walked around the outdoor experience learning about different countries and cultures through colorful displays, props, photo boards, costumes, and samples of food. This year’s festival featured a Ukraine table with information on how people can help those affected by the war. The Ukrainian American Cultural Club of Houston sent two volunteers from the Peace Corps who had once lived in Ukraine to share information with WUES visitors. Festival-goers visited each “country” with a specially created passport in hand, collecting stamps from each country they visited. With enough stamps, visitors were entered into a raffle for fun prizes.
