Save the Date for Palo Verde’s International Fair: Sat, May 7, booths 3-5pm, performances 5-5:30pm at our school!!
This beloved cultural festival is the most well-attended event of the year. It is coming back after a 2 year Covid hiatus.
Each year parent (and student!) volunteers create country booths including information, food, and games or crafts. Booths will be reimbursed up to a certain budget. We will host a booth kick-off Zoom 3/24 at 7pm to give you all the information you need. It is a very fun way to introduce your culture to the school and meet other families.
If you would like help with a booth or the overall fair, please sign up here or add your country. In the past we had 15-20 booths each year!
We are also looking for performers. If your child attends a folk/national/traditional dance, music, or martial arts class, and the group might be willing to come and perform for our community (5-10 mins), or if you would like to organize performances for the fair, or have any questions, please email Yael Valek (yaelcow@yahoo.com)
