With Swiss yodeling, Irish step dancing and traditional Japanese drumming, along with food from around the world, Byram Hills celebrated the many cultures represented in the District at the PTSA’s third annual Multicultural Night. The April 10 event at H.C. Crittenden Middle School featured the traditions, food, music, customs and crafts from 27 countries, highlighting the rich cultural backgrounds that make up our school community. The H.C.C. lunchroom became a global showcase where attendees could “travel” from country to country and sample international cuisine, see traditional clothing and learn about cultural practices. Each country and culture was represented by families taking pride in presenting their heritage, with colorful decorations and interactive displays on every table. The event featured 15 performances, including dances and a folk story from Zambia. “Multicultural Night was a powerful reminder of what makes our community special,” PTSA Multicultural Committee Chair Elvira Gibaldi said. “While we all come from different backgrounds, our shared community is what connects us all.”
