Athena Bean, right, a first-grader at Turner Primary School, adjusts her flag from India as it blows in the wind outside the school Wednesday at the end of an Around the World Day celebration. Each class at the school adopted a country at the beginning of the year, learning all about it throughout the year. During the past two weeks, the classes have decorated their rooms and school hallways. On Thursday, each class made presentations for the others with facts, stories, videos, songs and other ethnic scenarios. At the end of the day, the entire school paraded outside, many dressed in their adopted countries’ styles, and sang songs. The popular program has been going on for more than a dozen years. At left are first-graders Emily Martin, holding the Irish flag and Ashlyn Neiley, holding the Russian flag.
