Cultural Programs

Let me introduce you to my friend, Benjamin Franklin.  Sound strange? The Cultural Programs chairpersons plan all cultural assemblies for the year. In 2012-13, Native American Culture, Farm Truck and a 6th grade teams course were the highlights of the year. They are given a budget to work with and try to coordinate dates with trimester endings, or the days just before a break. 3-4 all-school assemblies are coordinated per year. One of the chairs, the PTC President or Principal Waldo may introduce the assemblies, but other than that, they are self-sustained.

Contact the appropriate Committee Chair for more information or to volunteer.

Budget

 $6,000, which covers 3 all school assemblies

Responsibilities: The Cultural Assemblies Co-Chairs work closely with the Principal to select the assemblies for the year. Once they have been selected, the Co-Chairs plan the assemblies, coordinate with the ‘vendors’, and handle the financial transactions. The PTC President or the Principal may introduce an assembly; otherwise, the performance / assembly is self-sustained.
