Here are some shots from America Day, which was extremely successful. This picture of Italian Square was actually taken fairly early in the day, so there was even more stuff set up and there were a lot more people out there. I helped out at the putt-putt course for several hours and had a good time showing how to play and watching them try. Some of them didn't quite get the concept, but I think it was a big hit, most of them really had fun! We also had several sand castle building contests, that were a HUGE hit. There were five sand pits that we had set up and we just had the students that were interested get into teams of five and then with the help of a foreign teacher, they built the best castle they could in the alloted time. SIAS is privilaged to have former NFL quarterback David Meyer on staff and he through a football around with students for awhile and awed them with his abilities. It was kind of amazing that some - maybe all from the looks of how they threw - had never thrown a football in their lives! When the students were not participating in any of those activities, they could be eating some apple pie or banana pudding, getting their face/arm painted, walking around looking at boards featuring specific states (I made one on some highlights from Southern History) or watching some line dancing being performed. So as you can tell, its a pretty intense day! And that was not even the best part...the night performance went really well. I'll save the next blog entry to talk about it...
