Cultural Traditions Night
Cultural Traditions Night is such a huge opportunity to share and celebrate who we are and where we come from! There are 27 different languages spoken at Aiken which is the highest in all of the elementary schools! In the past we have held booths in the gym where families can display information about where they come from! This year will have to look a little bit different. We are asking families to create videos (no longer than 5 minutes please) highlighting your cultural backgrounds. You can dance, you can cook, you can read, the sky’s the limit! We can’t wait to see what you create!
Please send videos to aikenpto@gmail.com no later than Friday, April 16th.
These videos will be presented on April 29th along with exciting LIVE entertainment and surprise special guests! More information to come!
