On Friday, January 16, 2009 we will hold a Culture Connections Festival to kick off Cultural Arts Week. This event will allow students to show pride for their own culture as well as learn about other parts of the world.
Activities for the day will be completed with grade buddies. The rich learning experience will include enjoying a Parisian café in our own library, writing haikus, completing art activities from foreign lands, games played in our gymnasium that are enjoyed in other nations, as well as experiencing smartboard activities involving other countries. Lunch will be served featuring a meal from another country, which will extend to Cultural Arts week, when each day a different nation will be highlighted during lunch time. The day will end with a fashion show to view ethnic attire.
Volunteers are needed! Please help us make the festival a success. Email Deb Deckman at ddeckman@montgomeryschool.org if you are interested in volunteering and/or if you have an outfit to be highlighted in our fun fashion show.
