AISC UN International Peace Day, Parade of Nations - September 13, 2019

This year's UN International Peace Day celebration will be held on Friday, September 13! The Parade of Nations will be held in the FAC Theater and students are encouraged to dress in their national attire.

Upon arrival, class teachers will bring Grade 1 through Grade 12 students to gather in the gymnasium. Once assembled by their respective national flag, students will proceed to the FAC Theater stage for the beginning of the parade.

Teachers will gather Early Years and Kindergarten in the FAC Theater lobby. Upon arrival of Grade 1 to Grade 12 students, Early Years and Kindergarten students will lead the school into the parade. Early Years and Kindergarten students will exit the auditorium upon parading across the FAC Theater stage.

Once they finish the parade, Grade 1 to Grade 5 students will be seated in the FAC Theater for a short program. Grade 6 to Grade 12 students will proceed to the cafeteria for live streaming of the program.

The Parade of Nations will be followed by a regular school day.
