    If you are new to the committee:

    The Multicultural and International Families Committee, housed under the JEDI Committee, warmly welcomes all multicultural-American and international families to our school and group! We are a diverse community, including multicultural Americans, first- and second-generation immigrants, newly arrived international families, and those who may be here for just a few years before returning to their home countries. Regardless of your background, our group is here to celebrate the rich cultures at PS20 and ensure everyone feels included and valued.
    Join us in celebrating your heritage—whether Latino, Hispanic, Brazilian, French, Arabic, African, Asian, Irish, Hindu, Jewish, or any other—and help us educate our children about geography, cultures, diversity, and inclusion. We encourage you to reach out if you'd like your cultural or religious celebrations included in our cultural heritage calendar.
    Our first meeting will focus on designing this year’s calendar, and we’re looking for “ambassadors” from each culture to lead or advise on our events. We invite you to be part of our team of open-minded and welcoming multicultural Americans and recently arrived families.
    Looking forward to celebrating together!

  • Rainbow Club: First meeting will be Fri Oct 18 at 2:45pm, RSVP here: https://forms.gle/DjQg65eauxD6CKQ8A
