in 10 languages--and no one complained!!! No one said we needed to sing them in English! No one said their outfits ( authentic, from about 20 countries) were "un-american"! A featured song was in Hindi. Another was Thai. Another was from Brazil. Another was from South Africa (NOT white South Africa). They did NOT sing the national anthem or any other USA stuff. They were wonderful--truly incredible, and everyone stood and cried at the end. (This is a suburban school.)
A bright moment in dark days.
