INTERNATIONAL CULTURE COMMITTEE
is bringing back:
International Culture Night: Celebration of Global Togetherness
Dows Lane and MSS families, please mark your calendar:
Date: Friday, March 1st, 2019
Time: 5 - 8 p.m.
Venue: Dows Lane Elementary School
As the title indicates, the event is about celebrating all nations and our belonging to one planet. Elementary students will get an opportunity to expand their knowledge about foreign cultures, and thus help them develop a sense of global citizenship and appreciation of cultural diversity.
Families are invited to become country coordinators and create country-specific stations, which will feature various cultural highlights of the selected country - architectural and natural beauty, games, music, art work, popular sports, fun facts etc. We encourage several families to run one station so that they can brainstorm together on how to best represent the country and help each other successfully manage the table. Families do not have to be from the specific country, just a special interest is welcome.
Are you heading abroad for the holidays? Let’s bring back interesting authentic objects to display at the event! 😊
Each student will "travel around the world" with a special passport and will obtain a stamp after learning interesting facts at each country station.
In addition, with the help of the community, we would like to create an International Food Court showcasing the cuisine of as many countries as possible. If you would like to make something traditional to share, or donate food made elsewhere, we would be grateful for your contribution. Wow your friends with your delicious authentic meals!
In the Dows Lane auditorium, we are planning to hold cultural performances (individual or groups). The children and their families will be able to show their international talents through music and dance performances, sports such as Korean Taekwondo, Japanese Karate or Chinese Tai Chi, local rituals, fashion shows with traditional dress etc. The performances should be under 5 minutes long.
If you are interested in volunteering, please sign up by DECEMBER 12, 2018.

Thank you very much for your help! We cannot wait to celebrate with everyone!
