International Festival

 

 

Dear Parents,

Save the date for the Caraway International Festival which will be on January 22^nd.

 

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.

Pajama Flashlight Party!

Hello Caraway Families,

Next Tuesday night we will be holding our first Pajama Flashlight Literacy Night in the Caraway Library from 6:00-7:30 pm!

Here's how it works: you and your family can come and go any time between 6:00 and 7:30 pm next Tuesday, November 19th in the Caraway Library.

We will have all the lights off in the library and the tables moved aside so everyone can relax and read by flashlight!  While we may have a few larger groups reading together, our hope is that we will have little family/friend groups spread out reading all over the library at the same time.

You may dress in pajamas or bring stuffed animals/pillows if you'd like but the only thing you really need is a flashlight and a love for reading!

You may bring favorite books from home or we will have library books pulled and placed on the tables that you may choose to read.

The goal of this literacy night is to build community around literacy and to remind ourselves and our students that READING IS FUN!

See you there!

International Festival!
