Shelton Elementary Heritage & Cultural Fair
Creating a Sense of Community & Belonging
Due to the increased COVID cases in our community, we are postponing the Heritage Fair until April 2022. We are looking forward to having this fun event later in the year when it is safer for our students and families.
This event was formerly known as International Night.
We are excited to bring back the Shelton tradition of a Heritage & Cultural Fair to celebrate the many family histories, cultures, and traditions that make Shelton a beautifully diverse community. It’s our similarities that bring us together, but it’s our differences that help us grow.
Students can learn about the special parts of others’ lives and experiences in order to gain understanding and empathy and see what they have in common. The goal of this event is to create a sense of community and belonging for all.
When: TBD Where: Shelton Elementary School
Who: Any Shelton family that would like to share their family’s heritage and culture
What: Families set up a “Heritage Station” at a table to share a unique part of your family’s story. Examples can include:
Food: Families are welcome to bring a small, bite-sized taste of a special treat that’s important in your household and/or a recipe.
Let us know if you are interested in hosting a “Heritage Station” or sharing in another way by signing up here.
Whether you are hosting a Heritage Station or want to stop by and explore the many cultures at Shelton, we hope to see ALL our Shelton students and their families at this special event.
