[ Head Start Multi-Culture Parade]
[00:00:08]
TODAY IS OUR MULTICULTURAL PARADE HERE AT LAPALCO HEADSTONE.
WE HAVE A VERY, VERY DIVERSE COMMUNITY AND WE EMBRACE DIVERSITY.
EACH ONE OF OUR CLASSROOMS IN THE EARLY HEAD START AND THE HEAD START, WE HAVE DIFFERENT CHILDREN FROM DIFFERENT ETHNICITIES AND BACKGROUNDS, AND SO WE WELCOME DIVERSITY HERE AND THIS IS A CELEBRATION OF OUR COMMUNITY.
EACH CLASSROOM IS REPRESENTING DIFFERENT CULTURES.
THEY'RE GOING TO BE DRESSED, SOME OF THEM ARE DRESSED UP IN COSTUMES, SOME OF THEM ARE CARRYING FLAGS, AND THEY'RE GOING TO GIVE OUT TRINKETS AS WELL.
SO IT'S GONNA BE A GREAT CELEBRATION.
RIGHT NOW, OUR WORLD, LET'S SAY SOCIETY ITSELF, WE ARE HAVING THIS TUG OF WAR ABOUT WHO'S BEST.
WE ALL ARE GREAT, AND WE WANT THE CHILDREN TO LEARN TO ACCEPT AND TO BE TOLERANT OF EACH OTHER.
WHEN WE KNOW ABOUT EACH OTHER, WE ARE MORE COOPERATIVE, WE ARE MORE ACCEPTING OF EACH OTHER, AND IT STARTS AT AN EARLY AGE.
SO WE DO ENCOURAGE TEACHING CHILDREN AND OR HELPING THEM TO LEARN ABOUT DIFFERENT CULTURES BECAUSE THEY WON'T BE AFRAID.
WE WANNA TEACH THEM TO LOVE EACH OTHER AND TO ACCEPT EACH OTHER AS WE ARE.
