World Family

 

Key has a proud tradition of an internationally diverse student body. Accordingly, Key parents formed the World Family Committee to utilize the unique international resources of our multicultural community to enrich our children's educational experience through organized activities.

 

One program is the monthly "Passport Tuesday", which spotlights individual countries. Another program is the end-of-year "World Family Day" during which students "travel" the world without leaving Key School's playground. The exposure to different cultures enhances our children's global awareness and helps them develop a sensitivity and appreciation for other cultures.

 

The parents of the World Family Committee also host two international parent potluck dinners, the first is scheduled for October 17th, 2008. The second potluck dinner will be in April 2009 (dateTBD). These gatherings are for the international parent community to meet each other and to also recruit parent volunteers who may want to participate in a Passport Tuesday event or in the World Family Day.

 

The Co-Chairs for 2008-09 are:
Charlotte Perry - Charmperry@aol.com
Denise von Gersdorff - denisevongersdorff@yahoo.com
Maria Emanuel - mariaemanuel@starpower.net
Jeff Hall - drisko0007@gmail.com
