PAST EVENTS/FUNDRAISERS
Multicultural Celebration
Our Multicultural Celebration helps bring our community together and celebrates our school’s diversity. From Armenia to Ireland we represent a vast cultural melting pot. Visitors can tour all the countries represented at Menands School and enjoy a variety of food and performances throughout the night. Each country represented receives a table where they can display artifacts and serve food which will give individuals a better understanding of their culture. This event brings in one of our largest audience. Our Parade of Flags consist of children, from kindergarten to eighth grade, who circle the venue as they wave the flags of over 100 countries. Each child who attends received a passport at the door and must get it stamped as they visited each country. A prize is give the next school day when passports are handed into their teachers.
