“Our goal of making the kids feel that they are of one community, regardless of the size of the school, or everyone’s ethnic/cultural background, was clearly meet. … Everyone was excited, and we even had teary-eyed parents come up to us and thank us for bringing this to the kids. ...

"The kids clearly enjoyed being part of the process, and it was great to see a collection of students of different ages and ethnicities all working on presenting their languages to the school. ...

"We heard kids singing to each other in the hallways, we saw kids working on their "Zest" move (energetic), while others worked on their "blah" move (drooping eyelids, tongue hanging, etc.)... Everyone was excited."
