Fuller Multicultural Fest Travels the World, Celebrates Diversity

FRAMINGHAM, MA — Fuller Middle School is traveling the world on Wednesday, taking students and parents on a multicultural journey that explores the diversity that makes their school community special.

Fuller's Multicultural Festival highlights its students' 24 countries of origin and their many languages — 18, in total. Nearly 100 students have signed up as presenters, and dozens of countries will be represented.

Visitors to the festival will travel the world, stopping at each "continent" arranged throughout the school, with musical accompaniment, dance, traditional clothing and food offerings from local restaurants including Bella Costa Restaurant, Thai Place, Punjabi Grill, Tropical Cafe and more.

At the end of their journey, festival attendees will be asked to place a post-it note on Fuller's map of the world, naming something they never knew before and learned that night.

Fuller's Multicultural Festival is still seeking volunteers. Interested? Sign up here.

The festival runs 6-8 p.m. on Jan. 18.
