Save the Date for the BCPS International Culture Night and Art Walk!
Thursday, April 25th 5:30pm--7:30pm
We are so excited to be holding our International Culture Night and Art Walk again this year! For those of you not familiar with this event, this night is a vibrant and lively celebration of the many cultures within Boeckman Creek. In previous years, we have had over 40 different countries and cultures represented, all in one spectacular evening! We invite Boeckman students and their families to host a table to decorate and display artifacts representing the chosen culture. Families are also invited to come dressed in the native ceremonial dress. Participation in the event is free and there is no cost to attend.
We end this festive night with our Art Walk. Families have the opportunity to walk the halls of our school admiring the beautiful art work of our students.
If you are interested in hosting a table please email Debbie Pritchett (pritched@wlwv.k12.or.us) or Sandi Laschober (laschobs@wlwv.k12.or.us), or fill out this Google Form. If you have any questions about how you might be a part of this special night, you can also contact the school office at (503) 673-7750.

Please come claim any of your student's lost items from our Lost and Found that is located outside of our Music Room. We will be donating all unclaimed items on the Thursday before Spring Break, March 21st.
