SMS International Festival Day 2004

Students immerse themselves in another culture each spring in preparation for the SMS International Festival. Teams of 10-12 students choose a country to research, prepare a display table and present a brief cultural program in front of the whole school and a panel of judges. In addition to the presentations, festival highlights include the parade of nations, international dinner and medal ceremony.
