Lakeridge Culture Night
Let's celebrate
Lakeridge Culture Night
Thursday, January 22 | Lakeridge Gym | 5:30 - 7:00 pm
Lakeridge families,
You are invited to a fun, joyful evening celebrating the many cultures that make up our school community. Culture Night is all about exploring who we are, how we live, and what we value — and everyone is welcome to come enjoy and encouraged to participate.
What to Expect:
- Performances by students and families: Share a song, dance, short story, poem, joke, skit, or show-and-tell featuring something meaningful from a culture you love.
- Foods from around the world to taste and enjoy.
- A gallery walk featuring art, artifacts, or photos families can bring or share.
- Interactive “around the world” displays for kids and adults, as well as some specific activities.
What Do We Mean by “Culture”?
Culture Night is not limited to nationality or ethnicity. Culture can include family traditions, languages, neighborhoods, music, hobbies, values, community life, or interests. It can be any culture you identify with or simply enjoy learning about.
This inclusive approach helps kids see that culture is about who we are and how we connect — not just where our families come from.
Come celebrate, explore, and connect with our school community — whether you’d like to participate or just come enjoy the evening.
Action Requested:
- RSVP and let us know you're coming! Responses help us with our planning.
- SIGNUP to bring a food, an item, host a craft or perform (HELP:We would love to find someone who is familiar with sound boards and can help manage the sound board during the performances. Please indicate if you can help during a certain timeframe during the evening.)
- 4/5th graders: If you still have your 3rd Grade Culture Project poster board, feel free to bring it to display.
