Hello Neighbor,
January at May eld Junior School has become known as Mosaic Month—a schoolwide celebration of culture, customs, and traditions from around the globe.
e month-long festivities culminate with the Family Heritage Fair, an immersive day-long cultural experience that enriches the soul. e morning began with a Land Acknowledgment from Jalen, a May eld Eighth grader. May eld sits on the ancestral and traditional lands of the Hahamog’na Tongva people and is committed to honoring its members and being future stewards of the land. roughout the day, May eld students learned about the uniquenesses of countries at family heritage stations, enjoyed culinary o erings during a Japanese Tea ceremony and the Mexican Quesadilla experience, and were educated and entertained by impressive Indigenous, Chinese/Taiwanese, and Armenian dance routines. Bachata and African dance lessons received rave reviews too.
Dean of Student Life Juan Garcia said the scope and scale of the fair were the largest in school history. He is proud of the impact the event had on students. " is fair is about building community by celebrating the many heritages from around the world that exists within our families," said Garcia.
Leading up to the fair, May eld community members, from the youngest students to alums to parents, shared insight at daily Morning Prayer about valued family traditions, long-treasured recipes, and customs close to the heart.
