Willow Dale Elementary School held its FIRST Multicultural Family Night on Thursday, September 28, 2023. We were so grateful to have food and cultural representations from places such as: Jamaica, China, Ecuador, El Salvador, Nigeria, Mexico, Guatemala, Puerto Rico, Morocco, India, and the Dominican Republic. We spent the night enjoying rich cultural dishes, dancing to cultural music from the represented countries, and learning about everyone’s history.
In addition to music and cultural dishes, we had Title 1 Math and Reading games, book giveaways, and provided families with information to navigate the Centennial School District through support with WIDA Score information, accessing Skyward, navigating the new Standards-Based Report Card, how to download the new CSD Mobile App, and even provide families with information to support students academically at home. This night also was made successful with the help of CSD staff representing Human Resources, the Food Pantry at McDonald, the Klinger Farmer’s Market, our Social Workers and our Community Liaison. Community Partnerships were also present through our WD Home and School Association and the Warminster Library. Also, a special thanks to our William Tennent students who volunteered to support our event. This event showed all of the tremendous assets in our Willow Dale community, and absolutely reminded us that, “We are more alike than we think”, and that we absolutely are, “Better Together!” We are already looking forward to holding this event again next year!
