MAHOPAC – Lakeview Elementary School in the Mahopac School District welcomed students, families, and staff for a night that celebrated the many cultures and traditions within Putnam’s largest school community.
The program offered an engaging, student-focused environment where numerous families hosted 16 cultural tables, each highlighting traditions, customs, and heritage from various countries.
Principal Elizabeth Blessing praise the event for “bringing our community together in a meaningful way by allowing our students to learn from and appreciate the diverse cultures and traditions that make our school so unique.”
