International Festival (I-Fest) - Celebrating Condit’s Multiculturalism and Promoting Cultural Exchange

 

 


Condit Elementary School

Date: January 26, 2024

 

Condit’s International Festival (IFest) is a spring-time event beloved by our community. We celebrate the fascinating multiculturalism and diversity of our students, teachers and staff who proudly represent over 50 different countries. IFest promotes learning and cultural exchange. During this time, the campus perimeter is adorned with the national flags of nearly 200 countries – it’s an impressive site to see! 

 

Students are invited to dress up and represent their country’s heritage through the Parade of Nations in front of family and friends and the entire Condit community. The festivities of IFest include traditional dances and musical performances, in-school art contests and projects, a sampling of food from different countries, plus much more.

 

Oh the Places You’ll Glow
It’s that time of the year again
Some would even call it the best!
The flags are up, so you know what that means - 
Next week is Condit’s Annual iFest! 

Choose your favorite country
Wear your favorite cultural dress
Because no matter where you are from
It surely will impress

Wonderful parents will be sharing their cultures
Bringing color and festive to our event
So grab your special iFest Passport
To travel the world on the basketball court

Once you get your passport stamped
And enjoyed some yummy food truck delights
It will be time to head for the parade
Which surely beats going to the arcade

With more than 40 countries and nearly 165 Condit Cats
We will celebrate these impressive stats
Lively performances will then follow
They surely will make you call out “Bravo”

What an event it is going to be
To celebrate Condit’s diversity 

So, to quote the great Dr Seuss:
You’re off to Great Places! Today is your day!
Your mountain is waiting, So….
Get on your way!

So come one and come all to the best event of the year
Condit Elementary School I-Fest
Surely will be the best!
