Tri-fold Boards Teach Students About the Diversity of Greenwood’s Student Body

For the past several years at Culture Fair, tri-fold boards have been displayed showcasing the many nationalities that are present within Greenwood High School. The boards are all made by students and are created to provide information about each country.

This year, a new addition was added to the collection of tri-fold boards.

The Pulsera Project board was displayed this year with many gorgeously woven bracelets surrounding it.  The Pulsera Project is a nonprofit organization that helps Central American artists through the sale of colorful handwoven bracelets, or “pulseras” in Spanish.The bracelets are selling for $7 through the rest of this week.

The boards are also very important in that they can help educate other students on the customs and traditions of other cultures. Jessica Pocasangri, a Greenwood student who was present at the Culture Fair said, “I think that the boards and the fair are very important and I hope that other students will learn that not every nationality is the same and that in fact, every culture is very different.”
