20th Annual International Festival at Middletown High School

Come join us for a celebration of culture.

The Middletown High School World Language classes will be hosting an International Festival on Thursday evening, April 12, 2018 from 6-8 p.m in the high school cafeteria. In the spirit of demonstrating proficiency in the languages offered at the high school and in celebrating cultural diversity in the community, there will be various presentations including, Latin dances, international foods, a salsa cook-off, a piñata contest, and “Au Café”. High school and middle school students will conduct children's activities, dancing, singing and multicultural crafts. Jackie Lopez will be showcasing her Capstone Project with Salsa and Bachata performances.

The festival is open to the public and all are welcome. Donations at the door will help fund the World Language activities at Middletown High School including our Excellence Awards. Donations may also be dropped off at the high school.

The Middletown World Language classes realize the importance of cultural diversity in our community and around the world. We hold this event annually to showcase the accomplishments and learning of the students enrolled in a second or third language. It is a collaborative effort from the language classes, fine arts classes, and English Language Learners.
