We all have culture to share! Beverly's Multicultural and Art Night is back! Save the date for our Multicultural Night on January 26 at 6:30-8! Let's participate on this amazing event that showcase the beautiful diversity at Beverly. 

Here are some ways that you can help: 

1. Sign up by hosting a country booth.  We will have the presentation area in the cafeteria with tables setup for countries' displays. Here are some ideas of things you can do: Dress in special traditional attire, provide food samples, share maps of your country, show interesting photos of the country's cultures, setup crafts for students/children to do, share holiday traditions, demonstrate music instruments, play/teach games, share art.  Those are just some ideas, but feel free to come up with yours too! All Bobcat students and their families are welcome to participate!

2. Sign up to perform at the event! Does your Beverly child sing, dance, do martial arts, or a part of other group that does performances from different cultures? This is a chance to show their talents! 

3. Help and volunteer! We need volunteers to help out either before/during/after with set up and clean up, as well as preparation and planning. 

Please click here to sign up (you will be prompted to login or create a FREE account) or contact diversity@beverlypta.com if you have any questions!
