Cultural Presentations

Throughout the school year, ELL students create presentations and share what they wish about their home cultures or other topics of interest to them.

Events evolve holistically each year, and range from whole grade-level presentations with live dancing and music to filmed interviews at UMass in English and the native language. Cultural presentations have enriched our learning environment beyond measure!
