Wednesday, Dec. 12th, 5:30-8pm
Pierce Elementary School
Movies were selected by a team of parents, teachers and Mr Lalik. Our goals were to find films that highlighted other cultures that Pierce kids would otherwise likely not see. We looked for the story of another culture, told in another place, or with elements or theme of another culture, in the hopes that we can see our shared experience in this big world. We hope you enjoy these as much as we have!
