District 49 hosted a Multicultural Night on 7 Feb 2025. The energy, excitement, and celebration of the diverse cultures made the night truly special. It was an unforgettable experience filled with laughter, learning and community spirit.

Thank you to all the CLDE students who played such a vital role in making the night a success! From setting up before the event, assisting throughout the evening and even helping with the clean up afterwards. Their dedication and hard work did not go unnoticed. Their efforts ensured that everything ran smoothly, allowing everyone to fully enjoy the night.

The evening was an exploration of cultures and bringing people together, through music, dance, food and storytelling. There was so much fun, and the joy on everyone's faces was proof of how meaningful the night was.

Spring break starts on 17 March and ends on 28 March.

We will miss you and look forward to seeing you again when school begins on 31 March!
