Multicultural Committee

Our Cultural Booth Meeting is going to be held on October 18th from 6-7pm at the library. Each year we have booths representing several countries around the world. We are looking for volunteers interested in sharing information about their own country.

This is an amazing way to have the students learn a little bit more about other cultures and countries.
