St. Roch’s Catholic School kicked off “A World of Difference” program with a school parade celebrating United Nations Day on Friday, October 18.
The children all participated, some dressed in ethnic clothes of their ancestors. Besides the ethnic dress, the children were treated to international desserts and displays from Germany and Russia.
The 5th and 6th grades, taught by Joan Breun and Ed Martin, were the planners of the celebration. “A World of Difference” campaign is a cooperative partnership involving the Anti-Defamation League, Channel 4 KMOV, the St Louis Post-Dispatch, the Urban League of Metropolitan St. Louis, the Danforth Foundation and Civic Progress. “A World of Difference” seeks to reduce prejudice and discrimination and to highlight our nation’s and our region’s cultural diversity.
This is a year long commitment for the children. Special projects will be the focus each month, with a different grade responsible for a schoolwide activity. Through activities and information provided, each child should become aware of their own uniqueness and individuality, develop positive self-concept, cultural pride, skills and attitudes necessary to participate in a democratic society.
