We are so fortunate to have many countries/cultures represented in our building. This event is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate each other and embrace diversity.
Families/students who want to participate will be assigned a table and may:
- Display flags, maps, crafts, photos, tri-fold posters, and other informative materials representing your country.
- Dress in your country attire/traditional clothing.
- Prepare food that represents your culture (you will be provided an ingredient card to list all ingredients used for allergy purposes).
Students may also participate in our parade of nations during the school day and/or the traditional clothing fashion show during the evening event.
Families wishing to participate, please let us know by returning the form sent home in your child’s Thursday folder or completing the form at this link by TODAY - October 18, 2024. We can’t wait to see you there.
We also need volunteers to help make this night a success! We need help with set up both Wednesday, November 6, and Thursday, November 7, as well as help with clean up after the event. This is a great opportunity for school or scout service hours! Please sign up here.
