Dear 3rd Grade Families,
We are thrilled to invite your family to this year's Taste of World Compass Heritage Fair, happening on Thursday, September 12, from 4:00-6:00 PM. We aim to make this event bigger and better than ever, and we need your support to ensure its success.

Every 3rd grade student will complete a special homework assignment to be displayed at the fair. Each student will complete a project at home by creating a display (or poster) on clothing that represents a country or culture that is part of the student’s heritage or is meaningful to them. This homework project will be returned to school by Tuesday, September 10, 2024 and will get a grade before being shared at the Fair.
