Dear Parents and Guardians,
We are excited to invite you to be a part of our upcoming Taste of Lotus event, a wonderful multicultural celebration taking place on May 7th from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. at our school. We would love for you to participate in planning and preparing for this special event.
Taste of Lotus is a fantastic opportunity for families to engage with the school community while sharing and celebrating cultural backgrounds. To make this event a success, we encourage you to contribute in any way that reflects your culture:
• Bring a cultural dish to share.
• Dress in traditional attire representing your heritage.
• Host a cultural station by decorating it with items that reflect your culture and traditions.
Hosting a multicultural event like Taste of Lotus fosters inclusivity, strengthens our community, and allows our students to learn about and appreciate different cultures in a meaningful way.
Please Help Us Recognize Success!
🎉 STAFF, PARENTS, SENIORS PLEASE LET THE COUNSELING DEPARTMENT KNOW WHICH COLLEGE/UNIVERSITY YOUR SENIOR HAS ACCEPTED. WE WOULD LOVE TO RECOGNIZE THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS. 🎉

Four 6th graders, seven 7th graders, and five 8th graders will be competing against 4,000 other historians to win a chance to go to Nationals in our country's state capital.
