Dear Foothill Families,
At Foothill Country Day School, we are continually striving to foster a sense of community, compassion, and inclusion among our students, families, and staff. In this spirit, we are excited to announce a special project as part of our upcoming International Days celebration, which will take place from February 13th to 15th.
Our newly reimagined International Days will provide a unique opportunity for our school to come together and celebrate the rich tapestry of cultures that make up our diverse community. To make this year's International Days celebration even more special, we would like to invite you to participate in a heartwarming project:
We are asking families who are comfortable and interested, to create a short video – no longer than two minutes – showcasing one aspect of your family's unique story. This video should be something you'd feel comfortable having posted on the school’s social media. It will serve as a wonderful opportunity for our students to learn about the cultural, familial, and personal backgrounds of their classmates. The video can focus on various aspects of your family’s story, such as:
- Family traditions or celebrations
- A cherished family recipe or cooking experience
- Your family's cultural heritage or traditions
- A special talent or hobby that's meaningful to your family
- A glimpse of your family’s immigration story
Need an idea? Here is a sample I created about my own family:
