Celebrating our culture

As part of our study of heritage in Social Studies, we will be having a multi-cultural potluck on Monday, May 9th (date has been moved from May 6th).  Please ensure that your child has a signed permission form and that food is clearly labeled with ingredients.

Students are invited to wear an outfit that is emblematic of their heritage for our multicultural celebration.  They may wish to wear a sari, hijab, Jays jersey, kimono or kilt - whatever traditional clothing represents their culture!

In addition, students will be working on cultural figurines in class next week.  They will be decorating them to show the traditional clothing of their culture.  Students are invited to find materials at home (fabric, felt, ribbon, buttons, yarn) that could help create an outfit to glue on their figurine.  The sample below shows the traditional outfit worn in Hungary (with embroidery, red & black colours, vest, black boots), cut out and glued onto the figurine.
