SIGN UP HERE TO GET INVOLVED

We are excited about WIDC's Global Unity Fair event scheduled for Wednesday, March 11! 
To help focus the displays, support volunteers, and maximize student learning, this year’s theme is innovation. Families are encouraged to choose a meaningful piece of culture and connect it to innovation. 
Booths can be as big or as small as you’d like, and families are encouraged to collaborate on booths together.
Food and other booth “swag” are welcome but not required. Students will first tour all booths for learning, then make a second pass for food or giveaways to keep the experience calm and engaging.
To foster connection, inclusion, and community, we ask that all displays remain politics-free.
Funds are available to help purchase materials- we want everyone to feel empowered to participate. Please email widc@woodsideschool.us with any questions or to request support.
  
We look forward to celebrating cultural innovation with you!

The WES 1st Annual Global Unity Fair was an absolutely incredible experience for our students, teachers, staff, and parent community!
We have received endless rave reviews, with some calling it the “Best. Day. Ever.” !


Together, we celebrated the rich diversity of 20 countries and cultures, creating a truly special and memorable experience. We are especially grateful to WIDC and Prachi Dumas for their leadership in bringing the impactful and spirited initiative to life. A heartfelt thank you to the tremendous parent and student volunteers, whose dedication made our event such an amazing success.
