International Night is Back
Calling all students, parents, and teachers! I.S.75 is planning an International Multicultural Celebration at our school on February 16th, 2023 and would appreciate your participation. The event will take place at Paulo from 6:00 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. We would love for you to share your heritage with our school community. Many families share the same country of origin, so we will form a committee for each country represented in our school.
There are many cultural items to be exhibited, such as architecture, famous landmarks, history, customs, dress, traditions, songs and dance.
Our initial planning meeting will take place over ZOOM on Thursday, January 5, 2023 at 9:00 a.m. If you are unable to attend but would still like to participate, we will provide you with the materials at your convenience.
*Students that participate will have an opportunity to earn service credits!*
