Students at L.C. Kerr School have participated in a Multicultural Awareness event learning about Christmas traditions around the world. Teachers and students decorated classroom doors throughout the campus highlighting different countries. Students were able to not only learn about the country they chose but also visit other classrooms to learn about many different cultures. Here are just a few of the many countries that were spotlighted.
