I hope everyone had a wonderful time at the Gala last night. I have been told by parents and teachers that it was a lovely evening full of dancing, a delicious buffet, and great performances by the students of St. Jude's Academy! Thank you to all the friends and families of St. Jude's that came out to make this important event such a success.
This year's Bollywood theme of the Gala really speaks to the IB philosophy of helping students to become internationally minded. Students who may not have been exposed to Indian food, clothing and music before, had the chance to broaden their experiences and see the wonderful aspects of a culture that may be different from their own. This is what being internationally minded is all about! Our goal as educators of an IB candidate school is to help our students develop a strong sense of themselves, as well as other people, customs, cultures and countries. The Gala is just one of the many ways we are doing that at St. Jude's Academy.
Have a great week,
Mrs. Nelson
