F.A.C.E. is excited to present New projects this year and we could use YOUR HELP! These projects line up with the PTA’s Pillar and vision of partnering with Families and Communities. Please email FACE@maywoodhillspta.com if you are interested or have questions.
Festival of Cultures
The Festival of Cultures is an annual event showcasing and celebrating the diverse community at Maywood Hills. All families and staff are welcome to participate in this popular and free family event. Enjoy beautiful displays, food samples, performances and a World Parade led by the WAADU Club students. Don’t miss this video from last year's festival!
See the Festival of Cultures page to sign up to participate or learn more about this year’s event.
Cultural/Celebration Kits
We are looking for families and staff to help create cultural and celebration kits. The plan is to share these kits at school for MH families and staff, so we can connect with and learn more about the members of our school community (ie. kits can be made available at PTA meetings, PTA events, and for interested MH staff). FACE will use the NSD Calendar: Days of highest impact for reference.
If there are celebrations your family recognizes or participates in, please feel free to share with us - we would love to get to know you! Items for the kit may include: cultural items which represent the holiday or celebration, decorations, craft ideas, games, pieces of clothing, photos, books etc.
Poster/Display Case
Did you know that Sept. 15- Oct 15 is recognized as Hispanic Heritage Month? Are you participating in community or family events that celebrate Women in History month? Lunar New Year? Would you like to help create a sign/poster to display next to the PTA information case and/or library display case each month? Send us a message so we can coordinate with you!
Tiger Family Storytime
Students and families are invited to ZOOM IN for Storytime / picture book read-alouds presented by fellow Maywood families and staff.
Want to share a favorite book? We are looking for families to read and share a story. Would you like to share a story in your native language? It is fun, easy, and kids love to participate. Just reach us at face@maywoodhillspta.com, support is provided!
If you’re interested in hosting a session, please email face@maywoodhillspta.com
