INTERNATIONAL HOLOCAUST REMEMBERACE DAY
Friday, January 27th marked International Holocaust Remembrance Day, a day designated by the United National General Assembly to honor the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust and millions of other victors of Nazism. Amid a tide of rising antisemitism in our country and our local community, including the December antisemitic graffiti incident at Walt Whitman High School, we remain committed to educational programming as an important tool in promoting greater understanding of the important perspectives of all members of our community and preventing future genocides. MCP's full message about International Holocaust Remembrance Day may be found here. More information about International Holocaust Remember Day may be found here.
HOST A TABLE AT HERITAGE NIGHT (THURS, FEB 23)
Heritage Night is a beloved tradition celebrating cultural diversity at Bradley Hills!
Each year, we open up the school for one evening and children and their families "tour the world", visiting display tables that celebrate cultures, traditions, countries, and religions. Tables are set up by generous BHES volunteer families. It's always lots of fun, and very educational.
Are you interested in hosting a table at Heritage Night on February 23rd? We would love your support! Heritage tables may include informative posters, displays, arts, crafts, music, instruments, and also food and beverages. Be creative!
Sign-up to represent your heritage (country, region, state, religion, cultural tradition) here by February 10th.
Sign up to perform! We’d like to invite BHES community to offer a dance and/or musical performance, story-telling, or other cultural demonstration on the APR stage for all to see! Please let us know if you’d like to perform at Heritage Night! vvelezburgess@yahoo.com
More Visitor Flow! This year, we’ll have access to the gym and the first-floor hallways, so we’ll have more room for display tables and easier visitor flow. Please sign up to host a table to help make this evening awesome!
We need your help! Please also let us know if you're interested in helping with overall set-up/clean-up for Heritage Night by emailing vvelezburgess@yahoo.com. We need your help!
Let’s make Heritage Night 2023 amazing! Thank you!
