THE GILES INTERNATIONAL DAY 2026

On May 29, 2026, Giles students and teachers took us on a beautiful trip around the world. Students in Grades 1–6 presented projects featuring maps, flags, artwork, food traditions, landmarks, cultural facts, and personal research from places such as Kenya, Mexico, India, Egypt, Greece, and more. Many students wore traditional and cultural clothing, adding color and personal expression to their presentations. The upper grades, from Grades 4–6, expanded the journey through history with presentations on Medieval Times, Ancient Civilizations, and Explorers of North America. Families and teachers enjoyed seeing students share what they had researched and prepared, while the displays reflected careful work, pride, and a growing appreciation for the many cultures and stories that shape our world. It was a wonderful reflection of life at The Giles School.
