Mancos Elementary is calling anyone from a variety of perspectives, backgrounds, experiences, beliefs and ideas to help plan an event that raises multicultural awareness.<\/p>\n
The school is hosting a planning meeting on Monday, Nov. 9, and everyone is encouraged to bring ideas and suggestions.<\/p>\n
Martha Endres, Mancos Schools educator for English language learners, says the idea for a multicultural event came after noticing there wasn\u2019t really one in existence that simultaneously celebrated the diversity within Mancos and the surrounding area.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was when we did the Dias De Los Muertos parade, I felt like Native perspectives were left out, and I would like to see other cultures within those events too,\u201d Endres explained.<\/p>\n
Whether it\u2019s a parade, all-day event, or a Saturday celebration is still up in the air, but Endres says it\u2019s important that varying perspectives are represented.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy main goal is to get families involved,\u201d said Endres.<\/p>\n
If you are interested, there will be a meeting on Monday, Nov. 9 from 4-5 p.m. in the Mancos High School room 420.<\/p>\n
