Multicultural Day


Today Anderson Elementary School is celebrating Multicultural Day. Typically the parents of the children in the classes come in and talk a little bit about their cultural heritage. Neither Sid or I are able to attend today and the Sharmas aren't back from India yet. Instead Sheela is taking a picture of her from her bharatnatyum recital a few years back. She is also takin gin a punjabi dress and all of her dance jewlery and bells to share with the class. In keeping with the theme she asked me to decorate her hands and feet again as we did for the recital. her is a picture of our "handi"work. This isn't the actual picture she is taking but it is the one I keep on my desk at work.

What fun. It's great that Sheela has such a wonderful stash of ethnic accoutrements ... and having her hands and feet painted is the perfect topper! Having grandparents who are actually in India at this very time has to help, too! What other countries were represented in her school?
