On Wednesday, October 15, Viewpoint held its annual Celebration of World Cultures, featuring the legendary Parent Partners Potluck. Hosted by the Office of Belonging and Community Life in collaboration with our Parent Partners, the event brought families together to celebrate the rich tapestry of cultures that shape the Viewpoint community through food, art, music, and connection.

“Events like this allow people to step outside their daily routine and really see what the school is made of,” shared Nicole Langston, Co-Chair of Parent Partners. “It’s a chance for families to see the world through their kids’ eyes and experience the great diversity of our community.”

Families arrived with an incredible assortment of home-cooked dishes, from savory to sweet and everything in between, offering something for everyone to enjoy. The potluck remains one of the most beloved and anticipated community traditions at Viewpoint, bringing families together to share their heritage, stories, and flavors from around the world.

“Because of Viewpoint’s array of cultures, my children are getting an education that probably wouldn’t be afforded to them elsewhere, not just academically but socially,” added Angel Tanksley, Co-Chair of Parent Partners. “It makes them better human beings to understand other cultures and have empathy for everyone of every walk of life.”

In addition to the potluck, the celebration featured displays and activities highlighting world languages, Upper School art and dance, and community spaces clubs, all showcasing the creativity and cultural pride of our students and faculty. Voices Now, our Upper School singing ensemble, delighted guests with a performance of Tim Dom Dom, adding a lively and joyful energy to the evening.

We are grateful to all who made the Celebration of World Cultures and Parent Partners Potluck such a success.
