Family Culture Night
This year’s Family Culture Night will be held on Friday, Oct 18th at the Hangar at Kenmore Town Square from 5-7pm.
Our theme is I Belong…Building Community Together. ALL families are welcome to join Family Culture Night. This event is an opportunity for staff, students and families to share their unique identities, cultures, and traditions with our KE community. Culture is more than country or heritage. It can also be what makes you and/or your family unique, e.g., special skill or talent, neurodiversity such as ADHD, family values, anything that makes you, YOU! Come and enjoy a family night together and learn alongside each other.
- The Hangar: Potluck, performances and interactive activities.
- Kenmore’s City Hall: Student created family culture displays and the Learning Gallery of Student Work
