Cultural Awareness Assembly - Updates

Wed, 03/16/2016 - 12:57pm

River Hill's annual Cultural Awareness Assembly was held today March 24th. Students and staff shared aspects of the many cultures within the River Hill community, discussing their personal connections to traditions both inside and outside of their own cultural backgrounds. This celebration was an opportunity for all of us to consider our own individual perspectives as well as to learn more about the perspectives of others!

Below is a list of the participants and performers and photos of just a few of the AMAZING performances:
