Columbia International Festival

In April, St. Peter’s Catholic School participated in the 15th Annual Columbia International Festival at the South Carolina State Fairgrounds.  This event is the largest yearly international event in South Carolina.  It is visited by between 8 and 15 thousand people per year.  The Columbia International Festival features the arts, food, and music of various cultures across the globe.  The goal of the festival is to build better relationships among the various ethnic communities in South Carolina and neighboring states. 

     Thanks to the efforts of Mr. Canute Magalhaes, St. Peter’s was invited to participate in this festival.  According to the event organizer, Raj Aluri, his committee turned away many organizations because they do not represent the diversity that is an integral part of the Columbia International Festival.  St. Peter’s, however, was welcomed to participate due to its highly diverse student body and faculty.  Over 15 different nations are represented in our school community.  A number of our children are first generation Americans, and St. Peter’s has a handful of students born in foreign countries.  What an honor and a privilege to be selected to participate!

     We thank the teachers and families that volunteered their time during this event.  We appreciate your efforts.  Numerous St. Peter’s Catholic School families and staff attended the event and gave it rave reviews.  Our exhibit and slide show was an impressive display of all that makes St. Peter’s unique and special.   St. Peter’s celebrates faith, academics, and diversity each day.  It was a joy to celebrate and showcase our school alongside the other international communities at the Columbia International Festival.
