We need volunteers to bring food that represents their culture. It can be a country, a culture or region in a country (ie The Midwest).

Bring a dish reflective of your cultural heritage to share with others, or share your family’s culture (art, games, traditions)!

Please fill out the online form to indicate how you want to celebrate and showcase your family culture (can be a country or region in the US or any cultural share). Or just show up!

It can be a country, a culture or region in a country (e.g. The Midwest), or just a favorite dish.    If you need financial aid to participate in this event, please contact our Whitman Counselors who can coordinate with PTSA
• Food and display tables will be placed around the edge of the cafeteria. people will mingle, eat, and socialize throughout the evening, but we would clear the center when it is time for the performances.
