Byam School Celebrating Us Event Date: Thursday March 19th, 6:30-7:30 pm

We are excited to host our second annual Celebrating Us event. The Byam Celebrating Us Multicultural Festival will be an enriching event opportunity for all students and families to share traditions, heritage, and knowledge about any culture. Exhibitor families can pick their own culture or choose another culture to share with others. This event will allow children and families to learn more about cultures from around the world. There will be interactive games, food, and displays. Family exhibitors can share at their table, for example, how to speak or write in a different language, or make a craft, play a game, wear clothing or use an instrument from another country. Do you have a family recipe food sample or recipe card you'd like to share? Have a family tradition or game your child(ren) would like to share with others? That would be great! If you and your family are interested in running an interactive station, fill in the form below. This form is collecting names of families and students who will be on the list of "Exhibitors" for the Celebrating Us 6:30-7:30 pm evening on Thursday March 19th 2025 at Byam School for planning purposes. A table will be set up for each family who signs up as an exhibitor. Feel free to co-exhibit with another family!

So far the countries we have represented are: Vietnam, Canada(Quebec), Haiti, Ireland, Brazil, Sri, Lanka, Mexico, Greece, Puerto Rico, Taiwan/Chinese Culture.

We will be in touch soon with our exhibitors.

JOIN THE BSA "VIP" LIST

The BSA struggles with trying to keep you informed without flooding your inbox. We understand some don't have the bandwidth to know more, while others are looking to get more involved...but don't know where to start. If you are one of those people looking to know more please take a moment to fill out this form. This does not lock you into anything but helps us filter our "extra" communication more directly to people looking to be more involved with the BSA!
