Tomorrow kicks off the 2 week celebration (International Fest) of everyone's home country at the girls' school. This week, a different country will be featured in their lunch room. On Tuesday, they have a flag parade and everyone can wear their national costume or colors. Friday they wear their IF t-shirt with many of the flags represented at the school.
The big event is on November 9th. There will be country food stalls, games, performances and craft fair.
It will be a busy day of selling Sew Sassy Sweetpeas, root beer floats with Girl Scouts and being part of the American skit.
The first part is the Pledge of Allegiance broken down into lines and definitions of the key words...Allegiance, Flag, Nation, Liberty, etc.
Then, the recite it all together.
Next, they sing a verse of "My Country, Tis of Thee" and "This Land is Your Land."
This land is your land This land is my land
From California to the New York island;
From the red wood forest to the Gulf Stream waters
This land was made for you and Me.

Not sure where my red wood forest picture went!!!!
The girls are excited for all the fun activities coming up, and I am interested in learning about some of the countries their classmates are from.
Life is Good when you can represent the USA in Malaysia.
