The event will showcase a melting pot of traditions and customs from around the world, and you'll have the opportunity to explore different cultures, meet new people, and learn about the values that unite us. Whether you're a culture buff eager to learn about other ways of life or simply seeking a fun day out with friends and family, this is not to be missed.

At 10:00 am, visit the Culture and Heritage Space in the Peter Lawrence Gymkhana for a sensory-rich walk-through experience showcasing music, spices, scents, fabrics, books, photographs, flowers, instruments, attire, and other family heirlooms that represent the EMS community. Then at 11:00 am, head to the Michael E. Cohen Center to enjoy an hour-long cultural program featuring dances, songs, poetry, dramatic readings, and other performances by students of all ages. Attendees are welcome to wear traditional dress to the festivities.

This inaugural year of the Cultural Fair celebrates the school community's diversity. The Elisabeth Morrow School's mission is to provide exemplary academics and character development in a diverse and inclusive child-centered community, inspiring students to become curious scholars, ethical leaders, and global citizens.
