Adventure Across Cultures Family Night coming to Ippolito

Ippolito families, we need YOU!

As part of our Hispanic Heritage Month celebration, we are excited to host our Adventure Across Cultures Family Night on September 16. We invite our families to become Cultural Ambassadors and help us transform Ippolito into an adventure through the many Hispanic and Latino countries, cultures, and traditions represented in our school community.

Families can showcase their heritage by hosting a table, sharing traditions, displaying cultural items, teaching an activity, sharing music, and so much more. You do not have to be an expert, just come ready to share what makes your culture special!
