Students at Autauga County Schools celebrate International Day

Students at three Autauga County Schools got the chance to learn about different cultures Friday.

Elementary students from Daniel Pratt Elementary, Billingsley School and Pine Level Elementary took time away from the classroom to take part in International Day at the Willis Bradford YMCA in Prattville.

International Day allowed the students to visit up to 38 countries in one day and have the opportunity to be exposed to new cultures, foods, heritage, song and dance, and languages that help make up today’s global community.

ACS officials say the system has a diverse student population with students speaking more than 30 languages, representing as many or more countries.
