A celebration of 'what makes each one of us unique'
June 8, 2026- ESL Family Night June 4 featured the event's first Student Showcase and Cultural Festival. Students and their families were invited to showcase their culture through displays and performances, and/or encouraged to bring chairs and blankets, sit back, relax, and enjoy the show! Inside Intermediate North, ESL teachers filled wall space and tables with student work and cultural displays, and community partners presented families with summer program options. Face paint, make-your-own-slime and bubble solution stations, sand art, sunscreen painting, and outdoor games kept little ones active. And, as a special treat, Rita's Italian Ice was there serving all night. "It was such a nice evening," said ESL Coordinator Sara McNerny, "where our families came together to share and celebrate what makes each one of us unique."
