The school is hosting a Cultural Night and we wanted to share all the helpful info on their behalf. Please see their information in the article below:

SKYVIEW CULTURAL NIGHT

Friday, January 11, 2019  6:00-8:30 PM in the SMS Cafeteria

Skyview is a school full of diversity, and we want to celebrate it! SMS would like every family to come and celebrate cultures from around the world. Please consider contributing to the event in some way, or just come and be apart of our celebration. Participation is optional, and everyone is welcome!

What is Cultural Night?

Cultural Night is a celebration of all Skyview families and an opportunity to showcase each culture through food, talent, dance and fashion.  

What do we need from you?

We are looking for families of all cultures to participate by showcasing their culture and sharing unique traditions in a variety of ways! Our goal is for each family to bring a food item that represents their culture and to share or to showcase something special and unique to their culture. For example, it could be a “show and tell” about your country through a poster board, a display of artifacts, games unique to your culture, geographical maps, dance and/or movement, traditional clothing and dress, videos portraying countries and culture, and of course... food!

If you would like to contribute to the event, here are our highlights for the evening:

  • Pot Luck: Please bring a food dish or “small bite” that you feel shows something special about your culture. Allergy information will be completed at table set up. (Optional)
  • Cultural Poster Board: Showcase your country on a tri-fold board. This can include a map, pictures, languages, ceremonies, religions, celebrations, or anything else you would like to share with our families at Skyview. This is also a great place to display artifacts specific to your country.  Poster boards will be provided by PTSA in the beginning of December via your child. (Please ask them to come to the office and request a board.) (Optional)
  • Talent Show: Showcase your cultural through dances, theatre, literature, song, and performances! Please select a talent that can be showcased in less than 3 minutes. (Optional)
  • Fashion show: Join our fashion show of nations. Children and/or parents from different countries will display their dress in just before the Talent Show. This will be emceed by our Students United Club. (Optional)
  • International “Cake Walk”: Bring a small cake representing your country and/or culture to raffle off in a fun “Cake Walk” game!

Please contact your Cultural Night committee to sign up for the area you’re interested in participating. Or to answer any questions you may have about this event:
