Tonight, a photo (click the pic for a larger version) and report shared by Schmitz Park Elementary principal Gerrit Kischner (thank you!):

I’m attaching a picture taken this afternoon at Schmitz Park of Principal-for-the-Day Chloe Simmons (fourth-grader, in white dress) joined by 45 international students from the University of Washington. This was our second annual Global Ambassador Day during which UW students teach Schmitz Park students about their home countries and cultures. Every year, Schmitz Park students learn global geography through the Passport Program. Today, students met real people who live in the countries they study. After welcoming the UW students with a fifth grade drum circle and an all school performance of the Schmitz Park “anthem,” a version of “Under One Sky,” Schmitz Park students learned languages, sang songs, played games, and did crafts from 20 different countries, all thanks to the Foundation for International Understanding through Students (FIUTS, the international student support organization at the University of Washington). The picture shows students showing their “quiet banana slug” signal.
