Skyview Elementary will host their annual Multicultural Carnival, and they could use your help

If your kids are grown and you miss pitching in at the local elementary or you simply love Lake Highlands and you’re willing to help where needed, Skyview Elementary has an invitation for you. Skyview will host their 14th annual Multicultural Carnival Thursday, Nov. 16th, and they say community support will make all the difference.

Skyview represents diversity at its finest, with 36 languages spoken and a rich heritage of cultures and traditions from around the world celebrated every day.

“What started out as a small gathering of Skyview families,” says music teacher Stephanie Miller of the event, “has turned into a tradition that our students look forward to. Last year we had over 800 people.” The multicultural carnival was Miller’s brainchild, and she is recruiting volunteers and donors.

Attendees will be able to purchase authentic food, prepared by families from recipes from their home countries, including elote, tostados, tamales, soul food, Ethiopian food and Middle Eastern food. They’ll enjoy performances by students performing native dances in costume, and explore activities and games kids and parents recall playing.

Skyview’s needs include baked goods for the old fashioned cake walk, donated pinatas and a business or community group to sponsor their planned inflatable.
