Also a special thanks to Mrs. Carr for supplying our reception with student art. We couldn’t have done it without the support of Mrs. Buell, Dr. Falk and our head custodian Victor Fallas!

Family Cultural Parade

Remember, everyone in the family can participate by wearing clothing representing their culture and walking in the parade. We will call countries alphabetically, just like at the Olympics. When it’s your country’s turn, just walk on stage, and wave when your name is called!
