Northwood’s Multicultural Student Club visited Saint Agnes Elementary School, which serves grades pre-K through 3rd, for their annual Geography Night, where students learn about a diverse mix of countries and cultures. Dominica Sarandeva ‘26, one of the club’s leaders and also a St. Agnes School graduate, arranged the visit with Profe. Coss to have a better understanding of the cultures within Lake Placid and introduce us to the Lake Placid community.
Lucas Smith said, “The event turned out well. I think their annual Geography Night was a good learning experience, and I learned a lot about other cultures’ foods. We also got to eat many different foods, and they all tasted amazing. It was nice to see people like Yosef and Tziyon being like older brothers to the younger kids, and everyone was just having a good time helping the kids with anything.”
“It was nice to experience the unique cultures that are in the Lake Placid community, and I enjoyed learning about all the different cultures that are represented in the elementary school,” Mohammad Ahmed ‘26, the MSC’s social media manager, said.
Alex Darby ‘26, another MSC social media manager, was impressed. “The event turned out well; it was inspiring to see kids wanting to learn so much about different cultures.”
