Dear Cory Community,
One of the great ways to build bridges to understanding culture is through sharing and making connections to the unique traditions that each culture holds dear. At Cory, we want our students to be globally aware and educated about culture to learn more about our diverse community. Thank you to the PTA for providing and organizing another great experience for our students. Students enjoyed a wonderful performance and learned about Fiestas Navidenas.
We hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! Please stay safe and warm!
