Asia Day
Seven Hills continued its decades-long tradition of Asia Day—a full-day lesson that celebrates countries like China, South Korea, and India, a culmination of an extensive study of Asia. On May 28, students had the choice to participate in a variety of activities that represented a different piece of Asian culture, including henna, Asian board games, cricket, and a kung fu demonstration from a local dojo. The day’s celebrations ended with Holi, an Indian festival that welcomes the start of spring. “It’s curriculum based, but it’s a day of fun,” said Middle School history teacher and Dean of Middle School Andy McGarvey. “I hope the students walk away from Asia Day with an appreciation of different cultures. There’s just so much out there.”
