International Week Comes to Calvert

The atmosphere is quite festive on campus as we celebrate International Week! Each day, a different culture and language will be celebrated through food and activities. Today, we focused on France, French culture, and French-speaking countries. In the Lower School lobby (which was draped with flags from all over the world), Tenth Agers passed out small flags from French-speaking countries to the students as they arrived. All over the building, objects were labeled in French as well. Dr. Trusty and I greeted the students with a "Bonjour" rather than our typical "Good Morning." The festivities provided a terrific boost of energy during a chilly, snowy stretch of winter. Enjoy the pictures below.
