Family Cultural Night is This Week!

We are excited to host the 3rd annual Family Cultural Night on Thursday, April 17, 2025, at Janet Johnstone School. This year, we have 34 different families who have signed up and will showcase their culture, traditional celebrations and diverse languages. Many families have also share with us that they will provide bite size food samples and musical performances.

This year the theme is: How do you connect in your culture?

Due to fire code regulations and gym capacity in our school, we would like to encourage families who are planning to attend the event as visitors to book one time slot: either 6-7 pm or 7-8 pm. Registration Link https://forms.office.com/r/zAS5gRgi6D 

This is free event and everyone is welcome! Please remember that students must be accompanied by their parents for safety and security.

Several VIP guests have confirmed their attendance, and we would like to keep the school parking lot available for them. Thank you in advance for using alternative parking arrangements.

Mrs. Schmitt and I would like to share a little bit about our cultures with you. Please see our news story here: Culture

We are looking forward to seeing you on Thursday. It will be so much fun!
