Culture Fest is Coming
Friday, April 25 from 6-8 pm will be our annual Lowell Culture Fest. We will have food (a professional crepe maker is something new this year!). We will also have tables representing over 12 countries and entertainment including our own Katerina Rallis and her Greek dancing troupe! Second graders will also sing. We could use some staff help in the following areas: 3 people to help supervise the food table and 3 people to supervise the craft tables. If you would like to bring food from your family’s country of origin or host a table, that would also be welcomed! Please click here to sign up or contact Beth or Jo if you can volunteer!
