McKinley Elementary School hosts Multicultural Day in Davenport
McKinley Elementary School in Davenport celebrated the different cultures and backgrounds of their students with a Multicultural Day. The school hosts this event every year.
There was a culture fair in the gym where students could sample different foods and learn about different countries. The fair had different stations that each represented a country with different items. Students also danced, made crafts, and viewed flags from around the world. The Davenport Public Library, common chord, and the Figge had stations for kids to engage with also. ESL teacher Mariah Jensen told Our Quad Cities News this event is something students look forward to every year.
'They're really excited this is a really anticipated day that they're ready for, they talk about it all year.'
She says the school has students from all different types of backgrounds and there are 17 different languages spoken there. The school hopes this event is something that encourages inclusivity and understanding among the students.
