Happy Valley Annual Family Culture Night!

Save the Date: October 15 at 5:00-7:00 PM - join us for our third annual Culture Night as we enjoy music, performances, and a huge family potluck.

Husky families make our school community so special. However your family celebrates, plays, loves, and (most importantly) eats, we welcome you to share and connect in this fun night.

How you can participate:

• Bring a dish to share at our potluck and share your family culture

• Host a table of information or hands-on activities for our guests

• Sign up you or your children to perform a song, dance or traditional skill

• Volunteer to help prepare and plan this fun night

• Or simply come enjoy the fun, meet other families, and take a night off from cooking!

Whether it’s your grandmother’s secret family recipe, a favorite snack or a dance, every contribution makes this event special.
