Cultural Fair & Potluck

Thursday, February 20, 2025 (5:30PM - 7:30PM)

The Cultural Fair & Potluck is one of the highlights of the school year! This is a night where we come together to celebrate the diversity of cultures and ancestry within the LES community.  It is a FREE event and all are welcome.  This event is extra special because our school community shares their own family traditions and favorite recipes. Many families bring dishes to share -- resulting in tables that are overflowing with tastes from around the world. Others showcase their culture through dance, music or art. This event is not to be missed!

If you would like to sign up to bring a dish, please use this form. 

For those bringing a dish, here is some additional info:

• If possible, please arrive at the MPR with your items around 5:15.
• There will be a welcome table at the entrance with cards that you can use to fill out some information about your dish/item. Specifically, we'd love for you to share:
  • Item name
  • Allergens (e.g. peanuts, tree nuts, dairy, eggs, wheat, soy, shellfish)
  • Optional: Region of Origin 
  • Optional: Any additional information you'd like to include about your item (e.g. background about the dish, or how the tradition shows up for your family). You can also bring this additional information as a print out, if you'd like! 

We have received several questions about the quantities to prepare. Any amount that you are able to bring would be appreciated, but a good target would be 20-30 small (tasting) servings.

Other things to note:

• Please bring your own serving utensils 
• Plates, forks, spoons and napkins will be provided
• Please bring food at temperature you'd like to serve it (we will NOT have access to outlets / microwaves to heat up food on site)

Finally, please pass this information on to other families and encourage them to join in! We cannot wait to see you all on February 20th!
