International Night: May 18, 2023 from 5:30-7:30
We are in the planning stages for our 2023 event!
On the field, you can walk around our world and visit the amazing displays from our host families.
A couple of IMPORTANT logistics:
On the field, you can walk around our world and visit the amazing displays from our host families.
- Before you begin your trip, be sure to stop by the PTA table to pick up a passport for your child. This passport can be stamped at each host country. After you get a stamp from each country, show it to the volunteers at the PTA table and receive a small prize.
- On the basketball court, we will have opportunities to join in folk dancing and an Irish dance performance.
A couple of IMPORTANT logistics:
- When you arrive, please park in the parking lot in front of the school or at the Food Lion and walk over.
- Please DO NOT park at the Swift Creek Exchange Club (that is the gravel parking area in front of the white building on Yates Mill Rd.)
- Food trucks will be in the bus loop, so parking in that area might be limited.
- Parking at the park is reserved for event volunteers and our host families who are presenting on the field.
- Bathrooms will be available in the Kindergarten building.
Food TrucksDuring the event, we will have these food trucks in the bus loop.

Pictures from the 2022 Event!
Although the skies were overcast, gray, and occasionally rainy, we persisted and had the best international night ever! So many thanks to our host families who worked so hard to create their displays and invite us into their homes.
The students had so much fun working with the pottery wheel Mrs. McIntyre put out.
And best of all was the music! Dr. Barr kept the event alive with the music and social folk dancing! It was incredible.
