On Friday June 9, the Smith STEM School community had an amazing night celebrating the “Wonderful World of Smith: A Multicultural Night,” with music, dance, and food.
“Cultural heritage is an expression of the ways of living developed by a community and passed on from generation to generation, including customs, practices, places, objects, artistic expressions and values,” event organizers Amanda Goeller and Sandra Felicissimo said.

Interesting facts about Smith
The school has students from many different places around the world. Thirteen different languages are spoken in the building, and 30% of students/families come from a different country.
On June 9, more than 300 people showed up to Multicultural Night. Organizers had the pleasure of hosting over 16 different countries, which were represented either through an artifact table, food samples, cultural clothing, or with incredible performances.
Families brought special items from their home country, delicious typical food samples, and shared their beautiful and unique culture with those who attended. There was also a photo booth in which students and families could document their traveling adventures. Several families performed songs or dances.
The fun-filled night ended with a Brazilian band “Projeto Batucada Boa” which got students, families, and staff out on the dance floor.
“It was a great time!” organizers said.
