Door Decorating

Create a door panel that represents an international theme!

Work with classmates, your club, or individually.

Bring in markers, rulers, etc. to help make it a great visual for fellow students.

International Video(In the planning stages) I am going to try to have the tv studio create a video

highlighting some of our students who have lived in other countries and have a slideshow along with them. This way teachers can show it in class today or at their convenience. I am still not positive about this idea, but I will keep everyone posted

with the progress. Please send me the names of any international students you have and what period you have them so I will be able to locate them. Thank you!
