What a turnout for Food & Culture Night!

What great attendance at Food & Culture Night! The gym was full of HM families tasting delicious food, learning about different cultures, and socializing. Thank you to everyone who made it a special night! Big thanks to those who hosted tables and shared their culture. Biggest thanks of all to the Food & Culture Night Committee, who made it happen: Shanu Mehta, Connie Toroser, Lisa Kaifeng Lin, Heena Bhatt, Poonsaeng Visudhiphan! We need a volunteer to help coordinate this amazing event next year. Reach out if you can help! hmann.pto@gmail.com 

Looking Great on UBU Day
