You are invited to join us in celebrating the many cultures that make up the Forest Road School Community!  

On Thursday, April 18 from 6:00p-7:30pm we will have a wonderful evening learning about and sharing different cultures.  We will also have performances from different organizations and a variety of ethnic foods to sample!

We need as many families as possible who would be willing to set up a display table to represent their country of origin or culture. Come share what makes your ethnicity or culture interesting and unique!  Also, feel free to sign up for a country that has already been chosen - it will be lovely to see how families celebrate the same culture differently! 

Not sure what to display? Some samples of items that have been displayed in the past: food/candy, recipes, statues, dolls, currency, clothing, music, games, art, postcards, books, jewelry, and pottery.  This is your display, you can be as creative as you’d like! 

Please go to Multicultural Night to sign-up to host a table and for more information about this exciting event!

Any questions?  Email Karine Otten at karineotten@gmail.com.  Looking forward to this exciting event!
