International Week 2011

This is one of my favorite weeks at ASD....
It is filled with such amazing activities and events.  The diversity of this school and the experiences and backgrounds of the students never cease to amaze me!  Here is what transpired throughout International Week 2011... (I know that I am very late in posting this.  Life has been very busy!)

(If you want to know how it compared to last year, check out my post from International Week 2010.)
