Thursday, November 19, from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m.
We are so excited to unveil a new structure for Heritage Night this year. Our aim is to center student voices in this interactive celebration of our diverse community. While this means families will not set up tables as in years past; families are still invited to bring in a dish to share on this night. Additionally, multiple rooms and activities will be set up that allow families to share and learn. That includes the experiences and traditions of our military-connected families, as well as the history and community we share right here at Cardinal Forest. Every family has a story, and every story belongs.
Children and families can explore our Heritage Rooms:
-
Language room: Say Hello! — Try greetings and familiar words in languages spoken by Cardinal Forest families.
-
Heritage Art Studio — Ms. Saffron will be sending more information on how to participate.
-
Music Around the World Room — Listen to music, try rhythm instruments, and explore sounds from different places.
-
Dance Around the World Room — Learn a few beginner dance steps from traditional dances.
-
Family Stories Hallway and “Where Are We From?” Hallway — Share family stories and add places that are important to your family to our community map.
-
Library for Quiet Reading and Coloring Space — Explore books about different cultures and color flags.
We’ll also have a Heritage Food Hall with small food samples. A food sign-up will be sent out along with a paper-doll activity for children to decorate to represent themselves. We hope you’ll join us for an evening of learning, sharing, and celebrating our Cardinal Forest community.
