My Project

Our school is planning a vibrant Multicultural Family Celebration, where students and their families will share traditional clothing, food, music, and stories from around the world. To properly display and honor the beautiful traditional garments from our diverse community, we need sturdy clothing racks. These will allow participants to hang and exhibit clothing items with care and respect, making the experience more interactive and meaningful for everyone involved.

Our school is a diverse, inclusive, and welcoming community made up of students from a variety of cultural backgrounds.

Many of our students are first- or second-generation immigrants, and they bring a rich tapestry of languages, traditions, and perspectives to our classrooms. Events like our Multicultural Family Celebration help foster pride in their heritage and allow all students to experience the beauty of cultural diversity in a tangible way.
