International Fair

Every year at American Pacific International School there is an International Fair. The families of the children who attend are invited, as well as, prospective students. There are over 20 different countries represented in our faculty and students. The teachers and students work together and present food, facts, and fun from the country they represent. 

The festivities begin with a flag parade, almost like the Olympics ... okay, not like the Olympics but you get the idea. Booths are set up all around the grounds. Each booth is decorated to represent the Country that was chosen. The students and staff dress accordingly. The best part was the food, there was so much food ... wonderful food.

Here is some of the pics of the days events.

Our Principal, Iva Scott, representing Thailand

I had to take a picture of my heritage country, Greece. For their food item they  had Greek Yogurt ..... ummmmm

These guys are representing France .... don't they look French?  

One of the girls who boards here at APIS, her name is Shell. She's a sweetie.

One of the art pieces in the silent auction. I bid on it but didn't win ... I was sad.

 

Another art piece .... I really wanted this one but again I didn't win. 

One of our students drew this. 

Pat is showing you his road rash from laying his motorbike down. It could have been worse. 

Pat helped with the "dunk tank", which we didn't get because it was too expensive so they improvised. They took a toilet tank and rigged it with a hose and string and made a redneck dunk tank. Sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't. If it didn't they just flushed anyway!!

The day was a success and everyone had a good time. I helped at the end auctioning off a sewing machine. It cost about 6000 baht which is $180. The one who won the bid got it for 2500 baht. Can you figure how much that is?
