Students
and staff at Kaynor participated in a Diversity Day on Friday,
February 6th. The event was organized to celebrate the rich multitude
of cultures represented by the student population. Exhibits were
set up in the new atrium with samples of food, music, and art
from a wide variety of cultures. Students also created colorful
posters for the day communicating the importance of multiculturalism
in our society.
One
of the highlights of the day was a presentation by students and
staff from Prince Technical High School of Hartford. Coordinated
by instructor Deidre Shaw, the Prince Tech group put on a combination
multicultural fashion and dance show for the appreciative Kaynor
Tech audience. Students wore traditional clothing from every corner
of the world and performed dances from India, Israel, Latin America
and China. Kaynor Tech students got to participate in several
of the dances and tried their hand at a myriad of folk musical
instruments. Overall, the day was a great success enjoyed by everyone.
