Heritage Day is Graystone's annual cultural fair where parents and their children volunteer to set up booths celebrating their heritage. All Graystone students and their families are encouraged to participate! Students can perform songs, dances, music, and tales from their culture, and also taste foods from various countries around the world.
Participating Heritages
Each year we want to have as many booths representing as many countries as possible. We typically have people coordinating and setting up booths for China, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Greece, India, Iran, Italy, Japan, Korea, Panama, Sweden, Taiwan, Turkey, USA, and Vietnam.
If you are interested in coordinating a booth, please contact heritageday@graystonehsc.org or download a Participation/Volunteer form and return it to your child's teacher.
