Around the World at Middleton
Save the Date for a new Middleton Family Event
Wednesday, April 16th 5:00pm-7:00pm
We are so excited to begin what will hopefully become an annual event at Middleton to celebrate the culture and heritage of our Middleton families. We are calling it โAround the World at Middleton.โ This evening will be a vibrant and lively celebration of the many cultures represented at Middleton. We invite Middleton students and their families to host a table to decorate and display artifacts representing their culture. Families are also invited to come dressed in their native ceremonial dress. Participation in the event is free and there is no cost to attend. If you are interested in hosting a table to share your cultural and heritage with us, please fill out this Google Form or email Natasha Edinger (nedinger@sherwood.k12.or.us).
EVERYONE is invited to come and join in the fun that evening. Families can come anytime between 5:00 and 6:30 to visit tables. Students will receive โpassportsโ to take with them as they travel around and visit the different tables where they will receive a stamp from each country. Additionally, weโll have games and crafts for students to try, and we are hoping to secure food truck(s) out back if families would like to purchase dinner. Doors will open at 5:00. At 6:30, we will end the night with a parade of flags and hopefully a few cultural performances.
Additionally, we will have a Cultural Art Walk through the halls at Middleton. All Middleton students will complete a piece of cultural art to display in the hall. During the event, families are welcome to walk the halls and admire the art.
If you have any questions about how you might be a part of this special night, please contact the school office at (503) 825-5300.
