First Day of Multicultural Week!

                                   
This week at Oshkosh North is Multicultural Week! The students in Communities have been working long and hard on getting ready for this week, which will be very busy. To kick off this week, two big events were going on. First, some students from Communities have been working hard on trying to get the whole school to wear purple, to bring awareness to women in countries that are getting education so that they can live better lives. Much of the student and staff body wore purple, so purple day was a success!
Also today, the entire student body attended an assembly, where there was an extremely entertaining guest speaker. A student from Communities did a great job introducing this quest speaker named Tou Ger Xiong, who is often called "Two". Two is an immigrant from Laos and spoke about his story and how he is sick of people being treated horribly because of the way they look, act, or speak. Students were extremely intrigued and learned more about diversity and the Hmong culture. Two did an amazing time kicking off Multicultural Week and teaching kids about immigration and diversity. Two said, "We're all so different, but yet all the same..." He went on to explain how everyone is different and how everyone needs to be treated with respect.
