Ak Lu'um International School Spring Fair

This year the Ak Lu’um International School will host its second annual “Feria de Primavera” on March 21st 2009 from 12 noon til 5pm in Pueblo SacBe.

Today, Ak Lu’um is blessed to share 16 different nationalities, a fact we are very proud of. Each family will be contributing a dish, food item or beverage typical to their respective home country. These dishes will be presented and sold at the International Food Stands at this year’s fair. Come sample foods from around the world!

There will be a nursery area set up, selling regional trees, shrubs, flowering plants and vines, beautiful living things to enrich your life and your surroundings.

We will be holding a raffle and invite the public to help by contributing interesting goods and valuable services to make it a success. If you are able to participate, please let us know.

There will be fun activities for children such as traditional games, music, swimming in cenotes, etc. There will be a closing ceremony to give thanks to our father sun, led by Osar (father of Maria Tierra and Moises)

This day many friendships will be strengthened within our community, and new ones will be forged. If you have been curious about Ak Lu’um, this will be an excellent opportunity to speak with teachers, administrators, parent s and current students about their personal experiences at Ak Lu’um and in Playa del Carmen. Everyone is welcome!!

Please join us for this special event. All proceeds will go to support Ak Lu’um International School, Playa del Carmen’s only not for profit educational community.

Namaste
