Save the date for the Caraway International Festival which will be on January 22nd.
At the festival you will find tables hosted by fellow Caraway parents sharing their culture by exhibiting cultural artifacts such as traditional clothing or by providing samples of ethnic foods or by teaching crafts or games related to their culture. The evening will end with a fashion show where parents and students can show off their traditional outfits.
So far parents have signed up to share bits of India, Korea, Japan, Singapore, Greece, Germany, Ireland, France and the United States. I encourage all cultures at Caraway Elementary to consider participating in the International Festival. It is a great way to introduce your culture to the community.
If you would like to assist with representing these countries or adding your culture to the list please send an email to hannapog@gmail.com.
The planning meeting has been moved to the school to make it easier for people to attend. It will be in the PTA room from 7:45 to 8:45 am on Wednesday 12/11 and 12/18 to answer questions and to help people get started.
