Cultural Celebration Night is Coming Up Soon!
Thursday, May 25th

Cultural Celebration Night is coming up! Would you like to represent your family's culture in our World Showcase? Sign up here for a table: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c054aa9ab23abfa7-cultural1#/

Your table can be as simple or as elaborate as you would like it to be. In the past, people have covered their tables with tablecloths and put out photographs, books, and other objects from the countries they are representing. People have also used computers to display pictures or made tri-fold posters. It's nice when the tables have an activity for the students to do, but it's not necessary.

We will also hold an international potluck. Sign-up here is you would like to bring some food to share!
