Friday Focus - BGHS Multicultural Show
On October 14th students from Buffalo Grove High School organized our annual Multicultural Show. There were dances and songs from different parts of India, Ukraine, Greece, Russia, Kazakhstan, Turkey, Korea, Bulgaria, Mexico, Philippines, Uganda, and Sudan. We also had Free Flow performing an American modern dance, and a Ukrainian Couple dancing the Ballroom dances. Students invited a Turkish artist to showcase the Turkish Art, called - “Marble Painting.” The show ended with a Fashion Show, and the “Imagine” song by John Lennon sang by all participants showing the unity and understanding of different cultures. It was a great celebration of the diversity of our student body!
Upcoming Dates
John Underwood is coming back to our community!
