MULTICULTURAL NIGHT (September 28)
Typically our first community event of the year (and a cherished Haisley tradition), Multicultural Night is a special evening of sharing and celebrating our different cultures – cultures from all over the world that make up our beautifully diverse school. Food, dancing, presentations, and crafts all contributed by the families of our community. Families and staff sign up to represent a country they have a connection to (family, lived, visited, etc) and host tables in the Multipurpose Room.
2022 By the Numbers:
