Hicksville students celebrate International Night
Posted on 10/15/2024

Students, staff and families of Old Country Road Elementary’s school community came
together to celebrate International Night hosted by the school’s PTA on September 27.
Teachers, students and their families gathered around the outdoor blacktop to showcase
their cultures in various ways.

Attendees were invited to stroll from table to table learning about different cultures and
tasting different foods. Throughout the event, guests had a chance to explore various
customs, hear music and enjoy food. Several students wore colorful clothes and performed
traditional dances reflecting their respective country. Students were given a passport that
was stamped for each country showcased, including Poland, Germany, Italy, Pakistan, Sri
Lanka, El Salvador, Ireland, India and the Philippines among the many.

Aside from a wonderful evening celebrating community, this year’s International Night at
Old Country Road Elementary School gave students the opportunity to learn about
traditions from other cultures, historical landmarks around the world and different
languages.
