If you have men who will come only if they know there is a good road, I don't want them. I want men who will come even if there is no road at all.

Our Multicultural Celebration this year will be on November 23rd. On this day, we will learn about and celebrate the different cultures represented at Indian Run Elementary. In years past, we have celebrated by doing fashion shows, performances, and tasting food from around the world! We are taking our celebration virtual this year. We are also focused on how we can celebrate this year round.

We are asking that everyone at Indian Run and their families create videos to showcase their culture. This can look like sharing about your heritage, celebrations in your family, holidays, traditions, dress, food, language, and many more. There is no right or wrong way to do this! Just share about yourself.

We will be recording these videos on Padlet. Just click on a place in the world and start recording your video! The day we have our celebration, students will be able to watch other students from IRE share about their culture! How cool is that?

The instructions on how you and your family can participate can be found here:

1. Step by step direction sheet

2. Video tutorial

3. The WIRE 11/8 - Explanation of what we are doing @ IRE

4. Example Videos: When you are in our Padlet take a look at Sri Lanka and Japan for some examples we already uploaded :)

Thank you for your consideration in adding a video about your culture. We can’t wait to learn more about the students and families of IRE! Please add your video by November 22nd.

For nearly 15 years, Welcome Warehouse has been a resource for Dublin families in need. Their new name is now "One Dublin" which will not affect their current services; in fact, it gives them the flexibility to grow and adapt to the changing needs of our community.

Please reach out if you have questions. Their goal is to make sure students have what they need to succeed and to keep a family's small crisis from becoming a big one. Check out their new website that is listed below.

The world of Bikini Bottom comes to life in this feel-good musical about the importance of community and cooperation. Stakes are higher than ever as SpongeBob and all of Bikini Bottom face the total annihilation of their undersea world. Chaos erupts. Lives hang in the balance.
