Culture Night 2023

Posted on May 19, 2023

Walt Disney’s “Culture Night” returned in a big way the night of Thursday, May 18! After a two-year hiatus due to COVID, students, staff and families were eager to bring back the signature event that had been a staple on our school’s calendar since 1999.

Families who set up booths offered food, beverages or crafts related to their heritage. Students and families also performed for the community.

With more than 30 different native languages from around the world spoken in our students’ homes, this night is such an integral part of our school’s culture because it allows our staff, students and families to share their food, customs, background & history with the rest of the school community.

The evening wrapped up with a fun game of Kahoot! Outgoing Principal Towner & soon-to-be new principal Dr. Mindy Higginson provided answers so that staff, students & families could learn more about Dr. Higginson who will be taking over at the start of the 2023-2024 school year.
