Multicultural Night
Save the Date! Thursday, April 18th from 6p-7:30p for Multicultural Night at Forest Road
Multicultural Night is where school families are invited to share elements of their culture or ethnicity with other members of the school community. It will take place in the Forest Road gym, where families will have a table to display clothing, food items, pictures, maps, instruments, books- anything that they would like to display that highlights their culture or ethnicity. As many of us get together to celebrate the holidays with our families and friends, it may be a good opportunity to gather something to share at Multicultural Night!
