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! Host families will receive a stipend to help defray hosting costs. Signup here: https://tinyurl.com/BoontonMCF23. Let’s help our school community travel the world without leaving our own backyard.
