5th grade students have been hard at work in their biography unit.  Students have been using their reading, writing, speaking and listening skills to research and present on a famous individual.  Students got to choose a person they would like to learn more about and did extensive research on that person to learn all about their life.  Students then created a poster with the face area left open for them to be able to present in the first person on their individual to their classmates.  The posters will be on display in the 5th grade hallway during success night next Thursday.  Be sure to check them out!

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!
