•Parents on the Kelly School Site Council organized an amazing Multicultural Family Night on March 28. Students, families, and staff shared food, music, and traditional clothing from the many cultural heritages that are part of  our Kelly  School family, including Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, Morocco, and the USA. Many people enjoyed sampling food and drinks they’d never tried before, and everyone enjoyed the dancing  and costume parade. Special thanks to the many families and local businesses who donated food and materials,  and  of course to Family Liaison Yolanda Colon.
