John Muir Elementary families participated in a cultural celebration, sharing their heritages and traditions at the PTSA’s “Passport to Muir” event. Displays were set up around the school representing different countries, and students received a special passport book that was stamped at each country they visited.

Families enjoyed fantastic food, music, informational displays, and traditional clothing. Countries represented included Iraq, China, Denmark, Jordan, Vietnam, Mexico, Laos, Cambodia, Philippines, Italy, and Brazil. Some of the highlights included a children’s parade, the Kamiakin Jazz Trio, and a performance by Capoeira, a Brazilian Martial Art Dance group.
