What an incredible Multicultural Night at Dogwood! 🌍🐉❤️

Our school was filled with joy, laughter, literacy, learning, and family fun as we came together to celebrate the many cultures and traditions that make our Dogwood community so special. From sharing stories and activities to learning about one another’s diversity, the evening reminded us of the beauty of connection and belonging.

Thank you to all of our families, staff, and students who helped make the night such a huge success. We are proud to celebrate the cultures, languages, and experiences that make Dogwood shine! ✨

What a wonderful week for our Dogwood chorus! 🎶
