This article was written and published by the Loudoun County Public Schools Public Information Office. Committee Promotes Awareness of Other Cultures Sully Elementary School parents and staff will be treated to two multicultural events in early February, thanks to a new school committee. In talking to the PTO and the parents, we wanted to have another avenue for parents to express their concerns and help our student achievement. The committee members also hope to increase awareness of cultural diversity and to increase parent involvement. There will be displays of artifacts from various countries, different foods and possibly a fashion show.
Admission is one dish of food, suitable for six to eight people.
Students are busy preparing for the event by participating in a poster contest. Basically, it was developed to encourage African-American parents to come out and be involved in their children's education. The assembly will feature Dr. Rex Ellis, a curator for the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History. All parents are invited and encouraged to attend. I'm sure Dr. Ellis will be a great speaker.
