Over the past few weeks, each grade level at Lakeville School studied the geography, history, language, art, and culture of a different country: Australia, Canada, Ghana, India, and the Netherlands.

Their studies culminated in a fair on Dec. 19, where students “traveled” to each country, viewed artifacts and student projects, and earned a stamp in their passport for correctly answering questions about each nation.
