THIS WEEK’S NEWS
Culture Day is Tomorrow, May 8
While each class is celebrating this day differently, the whole school is united in celebrating and sharing the foods of various cultures on Thursday. We all agree that the foods of a culture help define and unite its people.
Each class is creating a potluck lunch to share among themselves and others. Please help us celebrate the diversity of cultures that create our world, our nation, and our school by bringing food of your family’s culture or one that you admire.
