Celebrate Diversity Day (CDD) is Thursday, 3/28!  As part of our annual OSS tradition, CDD is an opportunity to showcase and celebrate diversity in all its forms, including racial/ethnic, gender, economic, and family diversity. Our students across all grade levels will be engaged in curriculum-related activities that explore and celebrate our similarities and differences. The goal of CDD is to promote a culture of inclusivity, acceptance, and respect within our school community. 

Then, we invite you to join us on Thursday evening (3/28) from 6pm-8pm for Multicultural Night, a chance for our school community to come together and celebrate the diversity that makes us unique. This exciting event will feature performances, potluck (bring a cultural dish to share), and displays from a range of cultures and backgrounds. It’s a night not to be missed, and we hope to see you there!  Sign up HERE to share a dish, dance or activity.
