Heritage High School hosted the Family Cultural Night on April 12 to show the Heritage students the numberless cultural performances, food, dance performances, and live music. 

Family Cultural Night happened on April 12, 2024. This was a special night for the ones who are interested in celebrating peers’ cultural activities. The event has taken lots of preparation involving many people with different cultural backgrounds.

“A few things that we have done to prepare for this night is to promote the event through flyers and our social media and communicating with our heritage students,” said Bani Lopez, Spanish teacher at Heritage. 

Before the moment had come, Lopez had collected volunteers to help create the event. Later on, she spread the word to our local community to experience this event. Including working with the community members to get the event organized and planned. 

As the event is taking place, with food trucks, live performances, live music, and food from restaurants and organizers. Teachers and staff watched as many enjoyed the event and had the ability to experience multiple cultures in one building. 

“I thought it was really interesting and fun, I liked to see everyone represent their culture and I liked the dances; they were so mesmerizing. And the food was so good. I could eat the hibachi like every single day,” said Rilynn Sellers (9).

Students also received attendance recovery for the amount of time spent at the cultural night. The event was previously rescheduled due to weather concerns. However, the marketing and advertising made the anticipation spike and the night was worth the wait.
