On Thursday, October 17, Viewpoint held its annual Fall Multicultural Day, hosted by the Office of Diversity, Inclusion, and Community Life, along with our Parent Partnership for Diversity and Inclusion (PPDI). Families celebrated our many cultures through the enjoyment of food and live music, while learning about Affinity Groups and World Language offerings. 

“Our Viewpoint community gathered with heartwarming enthusiasm for this year’s Fall Multicultural Day,” said Patricia Jackson, Chief Belonging and Community Officer. “Our collective commitment to celebrating diversity, fostering connection, and supporting one another was on full display!”

Viewpoint families arrived with a wide variety of home-cooked meals, from savory dishes to sweet treats, offering all who attended enticing options. As a community where families value unity in diversity, this annual and beloved event provides a beautiful setting for our families and employees to connect in joy.

In addition to the potluck, the event featured cultural displays offered by our World Languages Department, giving attendees a chance to explore the various languages spoken and studied at Viewpoint. Voices Now, our Upper School singing ensemble, entertained guests with a new arrangement of the Brazilian classic Água De Beber. Hearing our students sing in Portuguese was a special treat.    

We are grateful for the many folks who helped to make Viewpoint’s Fall Multicultural Day a wonderful success, especially PPDI! We look forward to next year’s celebration and the continued growth of this cherished tradition.
