The Diversity Fair was well represented by song and art work from Hardin County. I'm always amazed by the creativity and talent that some of our students possess and I was certainly not disappointed last evening. The event was well attended for the first Fair, but I do anticipate the event to grow in popularity in the coming years with more displays, performances, and attendees.
Ta-Da! Here is the result of our Cultural Diversity Puzzle which was displayed at the first annual Cultural Diversity Fair. Before the actual event, I knew I liked the results of our colorful, multi-cultural images and so did the students. When an 8th grade boy walks in, stops to look at the work, and then exclaims, "This is awesome!"...you know it's a winner. Other common responses were "Cool", "I like it" and "This is neat!" Several students studied the work to find their "piece of the puzzle" often commenting that they did not see their particular piece. My response was, "Trust me, it's there!" It wasn't long before they or a friend found the "missing piece". By the way, the quote accompanying the puzzle is from one of my 8th grade students. I asked the class to come up with a phrase for the display and I think Gareth's is most appropriate. Good job, Gareth! I mentioned this is an earlier blog post, but if you want to hear a few of the student's comments about their symbols, you can either scan the QR code or click on the Student Files tab under More, which is found at the top-right of this page.
