STUDENTS TO PARTICIPATE IN MULTICULTURAL EVENT


October 11, 2001


Students from four of Miami-Dade County's public schools will experience a day of Hispanic culture on Friday, Oct. 12, from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Citrus Grove Elementary School, 2121 N.W. 5th St.  The day is the first in a series of events that highlights a multicultural student exchange program designed to give students the opportunity to experience different cultures by observing their peers involved in customs unique to their heritage.

In observance of the September 11th national tragedies, a salute to local firemen and police, with patriotic music and flags, will be presented.

Students visiting Citrus Grove tomorrow are from Ludlam, Charles R. Drew and Phyllis R. Miller elementary schools.  Each of the four schools hosts a multicultural day during the school year. Other cultures to be explored will include American, African-American and Haitian. 

For more information, contact Dr. Robert Russell, principal of Citrus Grove Elementary, at 305-642-4141.
