Japan is coming to Grand Ridge in October
Throughout this school year, the PTSA's Cultural Diversity Council will be highlighting various countries and their cultures each month. Look for our World Map in the Commons and a museum of Japanese items and books in the library. Plus, every Tuesday throughout the month of October there will be events in the lunchroom and activities during afternoon recess. Let us know what countries and cultures you'd like to see represented in future months! For more information, please contact Susan Wan (susanwan@gmail.com) or Yuki Foss at (yukifoss2@hotmail.com).
