P.S. 299 in Bushwick held its annual multi cultural show in the schools’ auditorium on Friday, June 6. This was the fourth consecutive year where students got to design a culturally significant tribute to a country. For this show, students created a dance to capture a country. Almost 200 students, from pre-K to fifth-grade participated in this celebration of diversity and the multi-cultural aspects of the community. Pictured are Amelia Flores and kindergarten students dressed for Samba, and Ms Escalera’s fourth-grade doing the Merengue.
