HERITAGE IN ME ART CRAFT
Students are encouraged to decorate the art craft template with any materials to represent their family heritage. This is an excellent opportunity for discussing or even researching the origin of each family. How many generations can you trace back? When did the family move to the US? What are the traditions that families have kept across the generations? What are the symbols of your family heritage?
Students must return the completed artwork to their homeroom teachers by TBA. All submitted work will be displayed at Multicultural Night.
International Parade of Cuisines
Get ready to share and enjoy some delicious international cuisine! We'll provide the plates, cutlery, and water - you bring the food!
Bring a cultural (or any dish) to share with your name on the bottom of the dish and the serving utensil. Note on a small card which culture the dish represents and if it contains nuts.
Suggestions for portion sizes:
Snacks: 8-10 families
Main Course: 4-5 families
Dessert: 8-10 families
Fashion and Flag Show
Showcase on the stage the traditional clothes of a culture or the flag of a country, be it of your family heritage or your personal interest. Alone or with your family, it's your time to shine on the runway! Flags will be provided.
To perform in the show, you will need to sign up by TBA and commit to rehearsal on TBA in the gym.
Check back for the sign-up link.
Cultural Performances
If the runway is not your cup of tea, how about a cultural performance that gives the audience an artistic presentation of the unique culture of your choosing? Singing, dancing, kung fu, or others, the more, the merrier!
