Culture Fest at Burton Elementary

Culture Fest at Burton Elementary

Burton Elementary held its first Culture Fest on March 17, 2023. Burton’s Diversity Alliance Club and PTA planned this event together with the goal of sharing and celebrating the cultural heritages of Burton families. 

Participating families set up booths representing India, Mexico, New Zealand, Odawa Tribe, Israel, South Korea, Slovenia, France, Italy, Poland, and a booth on immigration and migration. Families shared facts and stories, along with their displays featuring a flag, map, information, photographs and videos, artifacts, and treats. 

Participants were given passports to take to each table, earning stickers as they learned about each culture. Families could also place stickers on a large world map showing where their families are from, which will be on display at Burton.
