Cultural Connections Festival

Friday, January 16 is the big day for our first Cultural Connections Festival! The day will kick off Cultural Arts Week, taking place January 20 -23.

The day begins with Chapel in Bell Hall honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., followed by a day full of fun with grade buddies (Half day PreK students are invited to attend school for the full day to participate in all of the fun.):
• Experience the sights and sounds of Paris in the Library (admission: 1 canned good, which will be collected and distributed to The Lords Pantry of Downingtown)
• Write Haiku, a form of Japanese poetry
• Art Center focusing on an activity representing another culture
• Play games from around the globe
• Sample foods from Sweden and Italy on Friday and from India, Greece, Korea, and Germany throughout Cultural Arts week, January 20th - 23rd.
• Write your name in Hindi

At 2:00 PM we will gather in the gymnasium for an international fashion show to celebrate our individual cultures and heritage.

At 2:30, the day concludes with a special pep rally to excite our Montgomery basketball teams as they prepare for their "Friday Night Ligts" game against Benchmark School.

The day will be full of learning and excitement.
