Children at Hilltop Child Development Center won't celebrate Christmas at school this month.
Instead, teachers at the University of Kansas' Hillop, 1314 Jayhawk Blvd. will work to promote culture and the world during the holiday season.
She said that more than half the students from her class last year were from other countries. This year, she said that of her class is from foreign countries.
Bonne Lindvall, preschool teacher at Hilltop, said her class would spend two weeks this month celebrating the birth of the twins and Sisterhood Around the World."
