We need you!! Let's celebrate our diversity together and showcase the many varied countries and cultures of our world at our annual Multicultural Festival this year on Thursday May 25th. To make this a successful event, we are asking local businesses, local restaurants, families, extended families, schools, performers, etc. who are interested in representing a peek into a country or culture to participate! It doesn't even have to be your culture! Maybe you are interested in learning more about Morocco, New Guinea, Aruba, Kazakhstan, Greenland, Belgium, or somewhere else- GREAT! Share it with us and host a table! Signup here: https://tinyurl.com/BoontonMCF23. Let’s help our school community travel the world without leaving our own backyard.
Seen those cute lawn signs around town? That’s our fabulous flocking team! We have so many choices and customizations- emojis, dinosaurs, sports, unicorns, candles, balloons, cupcakes, flamingos, and more! See: Flocking Flyer, @JuniorBombersFlocking on Facebook, or email
flocking@BoontonPTA.org for more information. It's an inexpensive way to celebrate an occasion and support the Boonton PTA.
