From the lively parade to live performances, mouthwatering food vendors, and a wide array of family-friendly activities, Capitol Heights Day offered something for everyone.

🌐🌎Annual Multicultural Fest 🌐🌎

A multicultural festival at school is vital because it builds a strong sense of belonging for students from diverse backgrounds and fosters empathy among peers.

By celebrating different traditions through food, art, and storytelling, schools create an inclusive environment where every student feels seen and valued. A culture fest provides essential benefits for the entire school community.

Thank you to all the community partnets, parents, staff, students and vendors for joining us. We are moving our annual event to the fall in the future. Look out for the save-the-date!

Field day is the ultimate end-of-year celebration because it trades desks and tests for sunshine, silly games, and teamwork.

Thank you to Mrs. Brown our Community Schools Coordinator, Ms. Thomas our favorite PBIS Chair, the PTO and Redline Athletics Bowie, MD for hosting. The PTO appreciates the parents for all the snack donations.
