The Global Puzzle and International Children's Day

You can't put together a jigsaw puzzle of the world with a piece missing. So what did one local school do to celebrate International Children's Day?

You can’t put together a jigsaw puzzle of the world with a piece missing. Here at Evergreen School, there are many pieces to our global education puzzle. In addition to culture studies, map skills, flag projects and Spanish language instruction, the most important puzzle piece is the diversity of our multicultural family community. 

It was such an honor to share in their traditions during our International Children’s Day Celebration on Friday, Oct. 30. Without a doubt, our children are benefitting from the richness of their Evergreen experience.

At Evergreen, global education is about providing sufficient perspective on the world so students come to appreciate the complexity and interconnectedness of the world around us. That is why our students approach different cultural practices with curiosity, not judgment.  And we fit together like small pieces in one giant, complete puzzle.
