This year’s Theme
The theme, “What My Culture Means to Me.” – created by Sophia Partola from Wilton High School PTSA in Connecticut. When students share what their culture means to them, they help classmates, educators and families better understand the many stories and perspectives that make a community whole. Help students engage with the theme by offering thoughtful opportunities for cultural learning, storytelling and exchange that invite students and families to share what is meaningful to them.
