Roberts Elementary is a public elementary school in the Houston area. On October 23, 2026, from 3:30 to 7:30pm, the school hosted its annual International Festival, where families representing a variety of countries organized booths featuring food samples, interactive games, fun activities and cultural displays. The festival provided students and families with a memorable opportunity to explore different cultures and appreciate the diversity within their community.
At this event, volunteers were assigned to various booths, including those representing China, India, Turkey, Vietnam, and Columbia. From 4 to 6:30, volunteers helped with preparing food and drink samples, engaging with the kids in games and activities, and answering questions that elementary students had about each country. From 6:30 to 7:30, volunteers participated in clean-up for the event. This included folding tables, taking down tents, and throwing away left-over trash.
