Passports to New Worlds-Asia May 22 & 23


Passports to New Worlds (PNW) takes place May 22 (K-2) & 23 (3-5).  Students in our Leader in Me "Passports to New Worlds" club and Student Council are synergizing to create being there spaces at our school.  We are visiting China, Japan, India, South Korea, and Russia.  Did you know we have or recently have had students whose family heritage can be traced to each of these countries at RTE? This annual experience allows students to see themselves as world citizens and fosters an appreciation for the contributions of other cultures.

Each country will be serving a sampling of ethnic food, most of which is being prepared by volunteers.  If your student has food allergies to mango, sunflower seeds, eggs, exotic spices or Asian food in general, it might be best for them to abstain from eating foods during their PNW experience. As always, feel free to provide an alternative healthy snack.
