From traditional dances to modern music and original poetry, the annual Multicultural Show displayed students’ cultures, representing multiple races, ethnicities, and religions. Students and staff performed during school after the Pep Rally on March 16 and again after school on March 30.
English teacher Nieves Lopez and presidents of cultural clubs, including the Asian Cultural Society, the Black Student Union, the Jewish Student Union, and the Latin Hispanic Heritage Club, organized the event. Although the show has been a yearly tradition, this year was the first time an out-of-school show took place. For those unable to watch the show during school, both students and parents had an opportunity to see it on March 30 for a $5 fee.
