Bolles Director of Global Learning and Engagement Natalia Aycart is planning a new event for both Bolles Lower School campuses this winter. Called the International Festival and planned for separate days on both campuses, it will be a celebration of Bolles families’ cultural diversity.

Prior to the holidays, campus leaders reached out to their community to gauge interest and opportunities for participation from campus families. Response and offers of contribution has been positive and plans are currently in the works to schedule a day that is meaningful, engaging and enlightening for all. The event is expected to include opportunities for Bolles families to share their cultural traditions, food, clothing, history, art, architecture, literature and dance with students, faculty and staff.

The Bolles Lower School Whitehurst Campus International Festival will be held February 17 from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and the Bolles Lower School Ponte Vedra Beach Campus International Festival will be held February 24 from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
