District seeks volunteers for International Fair
 District 117 is organizing a spring International Fair to promote diversity, one of the goals outlined in the district’s Strategic Plan. The fair will require help from several volunteers.
“We are looking for people to make this a success,” said Rachel Morales, World Languages Department chair at LCHS and event organizer.
Students and community members are invited to participate in the event by providing a cultural dish and/or putting on a performance or demonstration that represents a specific ethnicity or region. Anyone with interest should contact Morales at rmorales@lakeseagles.com or at 847/838-7100 ext. 8044 before January 11. Participants will be expected to attend at least one informational meeting at the end of January.
Other organizers include Jamie Ellinger, a social studies teacher at ACHS; the ACHS Diversity Club; and other district faculty members. Morales, who experienced a similar fair when she was in high school, said the event has been an idea for a few years now and is finally coming together.
The fair will take place on March 12 from 5-9 p.m. in the athletic wing of LCHS. |
