BBHES Culture Night - November 11, 2022
We are excited to announce the BBHES Culture Night is set to take place November 11th from 6-8 PM. All current Elementary school students and siblings are welcome to attend with their families. Both students and families are encouraged to represent their culture.
We have 3 ways to get involved this year:
Choice #1: Represent a Country or Culture
Please consider volunteering to represent a country and/or culture of your choice for this year’s Culture Night. You can choose to represent your very own or explore different cultures/traditions. Volunteers can represent their cultures in various ways including music, dance, food, flags, brochures, posters, crafts, etc. Each country/culture will have an 8 foot table for your display. Set-up will take place from 5-5:45 PM. We have 25 slots available.
Choice #2: Do a 15-minute Cultural Demonstration
We'd love to see demonstrations related to global food, dance or music. Demonstrations will be on the Cafeteria stage. We have 4 slots available.
Choice #3: Just attend, explore each culture and enjoy as a Guest Traveler. All are welcome!
Interested in Choices #1 and #2? Please sign-up HERE
*Disclaimer: If someone has already signed up for a country/culture you wanted- we encourage you to partner up with families and collaborate. That way we can have one country per table.*
Interested in Choice #3: Attending as a guest Traveler?
Just show up at the elementary school cafeteria from 6:00-8:00 PM. We look forward to seeing you!
