Lincoln Elementary School was full of families and fun when Whitewater hosted its third, free International Children’s Day for all children on April 27.  Organizers estimate that more than 350 people attended. 

All families were welcome at the Lincoln School and grounds.  Events included face-painting, arts and crafts, Culver’s custard, balloon art, chalk art and more.  A variety of international food offerings were available for sale, and students performed music. 

“It was wonderful to see the smiles on all of the children’s faces and to celebrate our diverse student population,” said Miguel Aranda, chair of the International Children’s Day committee.

Sponsors of International Children’s Day Celebration include Whitewater Unified School District, Whitewater Unites Lives, and Whitewater Kiwanis Breakfast Club.
