Lois P. Rockwell Elementary PTA
“Rocketing Our Students to Success”

International and Heritage Festival
​
Coming Spring 2020!!!
​
International Night has been Rockwell's highest attended event these past few years. We are proud of our community diversity and families are excited to participate each year in many ways. They work as a family to create exciting and educational displays on their country of origin. Students get to delve into the history and culture of their family. Families work together to create delicious samples of ethnic foods for our community to sample. Students share their culture through song, dance, and costume.
Last year we had over 50 participants, over 20 countries were represented and over 600 people attended! Students enjoyed traveling the world getting stamps from each country to put in their passport too.
