District 20 children celebrate multi-culturalism
Pre-k festival features music, art, food
The music, art, food and flavor of 15 different countries could all be found in one place on a recent afternoon as educators from the Pre-K for All program in School District 20 hosted a multicultural festival at its Bay 11th Street site in Bensonhurst.
The four-year-old children who attend pre-K classes at the site at 21 Bay 11th St. shared what they learned with the grown-ups in the audience during the fun-filled day, which also included songs and dances performed by the kids.
The festival was inspired by the shared goals of the pre-K program, according to Dianne Gounardes, the Early Childhood Education director for School District 20.
