Bringhurst Multicultural Night - April 4th - 5pm-8pm
  • A BIG THANK YOU to Alice, Vivian, and Sibei for planning Bringhurst’s first Multicultural Night! 
  • Sign up to prepare a station! We would love for students to sign up to show off different countries, regions, continents around the world. If your student and their friends would like to put together a table, PTO will be sponsoring $20 per table in the form of receipt-based reimbursement. A student does not need to be from that place in order to represent that place. This is a perfect opportunity to do research as a family / student group. While parents are welcomed to help, we encourage as much student leadership as possible. Learn more at the sign up sheet!
  • Sign up to visit! Bring your family to learn and experience activities, snacks, and facts about countries from around the world. Due to the limited capacity of the MUR, we’d like to stagger visitation slots to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience!
