SMMUSD Press Release on Franklin’s Multi-Cultural Fair

Written By Guest User

Franklin’s wonderful, inclusive, and robust Multicultural Fair made big District News! Read the Press Release here.

Franklin had an incredible turnout with 26 countries and cultures (across 6 continents!), 6 extraordinary live performances, and hundreds of Franklin friends in attendance. We'd like to thank the PTA, our sponsor Pence Hathorn Silver, the many Franklin parents who generously shared their cultures with our community--teaching us all so much, and feeding us too!--and the Fair organizers and volunteers, including Liz Mair, Lauren Sullivan, Amanda Pereira, Amanda Panglinian, Julie Osher, Jamaica Wakefield, Leticia Ortiz, Leonora Camner, Jessica Levin and Amy Wruble.

Special thanks to our spectacular performance groups:

Mariachi band from the Santa Monica Youth Orchestra

K-Pop dancers

Hula lesson and dancing led by Lisa Leilani

Irish dancers from Kelley School

Tae Kwon Do presentation from Tae Ryong School (opening soon in Santa Monica!)

Chinese piano (called a GuZheng) performed by Yuting Luo
