Cultural Connections

Our Cultural Connections Committee works hard throughout the year to spread awareness and information about various countries and cultures displayed in the four bulletin boards around the library.

Please join us for OFE's International Day on Saturday, January 25th!

The committee loves to take opportunities to share about various cultures and languages around the world. Cultural Corners launched on September 16th. This year, we’re featuring languages spoken around the world, highlighting interesting facts, a map, and vocabulary for students to learn. Make sure to check out these fantastic corners, surrounding our library!

At OFE, we know that our students love learning and Cultural Corners, and we love to see family involvement... so we are sharing some simple translations and interesting facts for kiddos to learn with you at home!

Take a moment to share some of the interesting facts with your kids over dinner to help spark conversations and create opportunities for cultural discussion and exchange.

In addition to the boards, the committee hosts an International Day in the Spring showcasing various countries (so many with tasty bites too!), Bobcat Talent, professional performances, photo opportunities, and a scavenger hunt around the world!

OFE International Day

Saturday, January 25th, 2025

The Cultural Connection Committee, launched by the PTA in 2022, celebrates the incredible cultural diversity of our school community.

We are fortunate to have families with roots from all over the globe. This initiative offers a wonderful opportunity to introduce our children to new cultures, fostering open minds and deeper connections.

This year, along with our Cultural Corners showcasing the many languages spoken worldwide, we are thrilled to host OFE International Day on Saturday, January 25th, 2025, from 10 AM to 1 PM.

Over the past two years, more than 400 members of our school community came together to explore global cultures, enjoy exciting performances, and taste delicious foods prepared by our amazing country hosts. Let’s make 2025 even better!

This is a beautiful event to learn about the diversity of our school, keep growing as global citizens and learn from each other. We look forward to celebrating together in the Spring.

Thank you for helping us make OFE International Day an incredible celebration of our community’s diversity!
