Where are you from?

What culture helped mold you?

Come join us as we honor the diversity in our school and celebrate our cultures as one big community!

We need families to host “cultural tables” for your country, region, or state you come from. Feel free to work as a team with other families!

Schedule of the night:

5:00pm: Families arrive to set up on their tables.

6:00pm: Event begins.

6:30-7:00pm: Flag parade & fashion show. Students from each country go on a mini parade holding their national flag. If you cannot find a big flag, a paper print out one will work fine. Students and families are encouraged but not required to wear traditional attires in the parade and showcase them on the stage.

7:00-7:15pm: Performance A

7:30-7:45pm: Performance B

8:00: Event ends. Clean-up begins.

Our world keeps growing! Here are the countries represented so far: 

Italy, India, Northern India, Israel, Malaysia, Mexico, Taiwan, South Korea, China (Sichuan), Australia, Japan, Iran, Indonesia, Ecuador, Romania, Jamaica, Pakistan, France, Norway" 

We would love to see even more countries represented! Organize a table with a friend and your Bobcat students  - you'll be so glad you did!

FAQ:

Q: We are not an international family. Is this event for us?

A: This is more than an international night. Everyone has a culture and a heritage to share. We welcome all families to share the country, region, state or city they come from!

Q: What do we do to host a table? We don’t have much time to prepare.

A: Bring cultural objects and a smile, chat with people visiting your table, provide explanations if needed, visit other culture tables and learn something new. It’s fun and casual. Your table can be big or small. Collaborating with families from the same place is also a good idea.  

Q: What can we bring to present?

A: Suggested items to be placed on your tables include but are not limited to: maps, flags, clothing, pictures, jewelry, toys, dolls, games, books, posters, textiles, non-fragile artifacts, etc.

Q: Can we bring food?

A: Absolutely! Food is highly preferred in this event. Please make sure you indicate ingredients and allergens. 

Q: Can we present a performance?

A: No. This is an elementary school event and for current Blackwell students only. Middle school and high school students are only allowed if they are helping as volunteers in the event. *They must be district approved volunteers.*
