On Friday, April 20th, Salina hosted the 4th annual Diversity Day at Salina Intermediate. They celebrated the richness and beauty of various cultures around the world. This celebration begins in the Social Studies classes. Students study religion in 7th grade and countries in 6th.

"This event was born out of a culminating activity for our units of study, so it has a strong academic foundation. Students research and create project boards for religion and countries and get to present them at the event. We also delve more deeply into the understanding of cultures by learning and performing authentic songs, poetry and dance from various world cultures.

Religious and cultural artifacts are in showcases and decorate the hallways, giving the school a museum feel. The whole community is invited and welcomed to join in the celebration of diversity, and recognition that there is beauty to be found in all cultures. Students and staff dress in traditional cultural clothes that school day then attend the event after school.

It's become a proud tradition at Salina Intermediate."
