Whitewater’s fifth, free International Children’s Day on April 18 was a fun-filled celebration for all children.  Approximately 300 attendees enjoyed face-painting, crafts, Culver’s custard, balloon art, and more.  The district superintendent was also in attendance, helping to celebrate the strong sense of community that makes this event so special. Baile folkorico and students from the Washington Elementary dance group performed.  Olivia Monson of the Whitewater Police Department read to children in both English and Spanish. The City of Whitewater Fire Department brought an ambulance, and the Police Department brought a police vehicle for children to explore. 

The International Children’s Committee thanks all of the vendors, volunteers and donors who made the event a success.  Plans are underway for next year’s event, the 6th one! 

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