Herndon ES Heritage Night!
 Over 250 families strolled down artifact alley, tasted food from different cultures that families and staff brought in to share, participated in cultural crafts, shared cultural talents, watched immersion students' performances, and wrapped up the evening singing our school song led by composer and music teacher, Riccardo Emilien.
We would like to give a big shout out to the organizers Yovanka, Raquel, and Yessenia, and all of the worker bees who volunteered their time to make this event a rousing success!! 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝😍
