This week our class will be researching and learning about China.  We will be learning about China's culture through an overview of their symbols, traditions and  famous Chinese people.  Students will engage in a series of projects, where they will combine research and art, in preparation for our International Night celebration, which will be held on May 9th at East Cobb Middle.  

                                        **** International Night****
Come join an infusion of cultures with samplings of traditions, history, customs, and talents of our students, staff, and community.  

When:  Tuesday, May 9, 2017
Time:  6:00 PM - 8:00 PM

**Students must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.**


Are you a representation of another culture, from another country and would love to share part of your homeland with us?  Were you born in America, but have a heritage that you are proud of and want to celebrate your roots?  We are looking for ECMS students and families to serve as “Diplomats of Culture” and share their ethnic entertainment, food, and/or information about their culture.
