Multicultural Club Continues to Honor Diversity

Mr. Polk (advisor) and students of the Multicultural Club show off their cultural garb during Multicultural Week

     The Multicultural Club works tirelessly to promote one of the tenets of the ELHS mission statement, "Honor Diversity."  Since its inception, the MC club has hosted numerous events to bring awareness to  cultures and cultural issues from around the world.  They kicked off the year with a symposium and art gallery starring prominent, local African American artists.  They have also hosted movie nights that promote cultural understanding.
     This week,  they have sponsored Multicultural Week, providing all of ELHS interesting facts from around the world.  On Wednesday, they encouraged ELHS to wear an article of clothing that expressed their own cultural background.  From dashikis (Africa) to shalwar kameez (Pakistan) to other traditional clothing representing South America and Europe, students expressed pride in their cultural backgrounds and learned something in the process.
     Many thanks to Mr. Polk and the entire Multicultural Club for all their efforts in helping ELHS honor diversity.  It is much admired and appreciated.
