Monroe Elementary Language Academy held its third annual International Festival last week. There were special performances by Monroe's Ballet Folklorico dance group, a cultural fashion show, a Boys and Girl's Club performance, a dragon dance from Bolsa Grande students, a Polynesian dance from Los Amigos students, and a performance by the Rancho Alamitos mariachi group. Monroe's school community enjoyed delicious food, great performances, and booths put together by each classroom highlighting a specific country - its people, culture, and history.
