Asbell Elementary has been traveling the world without ever leaving campus!

During Multicultural Week, students carried “passports” and visited classrooms transformed into different countries, learning about traditions, cultures, and customs from around the globe. Each stop offered a new opportunity to explore and expand their understanding of the world.
