Multicultural Fair Coming Soon
Ridgeway’s second Multicultural Fair is coming soon, celebrating our amazing cultural diversity!
Due to the popularity of this event, we’re making it bigger by shifting to the gym, including:
- ‘Country’ or regional displays created by individual or groups of families / students (we will help coordinate)
- Displays ideas include photos, facts, books, toys, crafts, or bite-size tastes of a regional snack or treat
- A craft area
- Beverage sale by the Grade 7s: coffee, juice, carbonated water
- Sign up to contribute to a table HERE
The Multicultural Fair is held on the evening or our Scholastic Book Fair and is a part of our annual PAC Family Fun Night. You can sign up to help at the book fair HERE.
…. and YES, there’s still a cupcake walk!
What is the cupcake walk?
A cupcake walk is like musical chairs: kids walk around a numbered circle – when the music stops, we draw a winner! The winner gets a plate of cupcakes. All for free! We will need cupcake bakers and volunteers – sign up here.
