International Night is the highlight event of the year for Garrett Park Elementary School in Kensington, MD. It is a wonderful combination of foods, dress, photos, tourist materials, and performances from children and parents representing more than 30 countries.
The GPES PTA put out a request for photos taken at this years event for inclusion in their February 2012 newsletter. [PDF, 1.5MB, 6pp]
My collection of photos from the 2012 International Night can be found at my SmugMug Gallery.
The next-to-last page of the newsletter (top half of the page shown below) features a letter from the PTA's vice president for Membership, Sheryl! When she had needed to submit a photo when she first joined the PTA leadership a few years back, she had chosen this one, which is (as seen below) a crop of a self-portrait of the two of us, taken after we had performed together with the Friday Morning Music Club Chorale & Orchestra in June 2006. (This is simply bounce flash and predates by two years my acquisition of any studio lighting equipment.)
