Today Whitehall Elementary celebrated World Cultures Day and this year's theme was Everybody Bakes Bread. Teachers and families contributed various kinds of bread from all over the world for the students to taste. Our goal was to focus on similarities between the world cultures, to learn about traditions, and to have fun together. Our students participated in live performances, and virtual presentations.
