Celebration of Cultures Potluck Dinner
Families are invited to our annual Celebration of Cultures dinner on Thursday, February 7 from 6:00 pm - 7:15 pm. For several years our community has come together for this event to welcome each other with diverse foods, family recipes, and conversation.
Please bring a dish to share and converse with your family and neighbors in the gym. Food can be dropped off starting at 5:45 and food will be served from 6:00 to 6:45.
This year, we are asking for student or family volunteers to set up a table to share about your culture. This table can be as simple or elaborate as you would like. We would love to learn more about the languages, traditions, clothing, and celebrations of our Glen Lake community. For more information on displays or what your display could include, please see this short video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5teTxZmYW7I
