🇲🇽¡Hola Padres en MDE!🇲🇽
We are so excited that we will be celebrating Mexico during this year’s Cultural Arts Week from November 13-17. For those of you that are new to MDE, we have a week each year dedicated to immersing ourselves into a country’s culture and try to highlight many wonderful things about the country's food, dance, and industry. 

Check out the CA week calendar which will keep you up-to-date on all of the weeks events, including:
  • Themed dress up days: Your child will have the chance to dress up each day to add to the fun and festive atmosphere. 
  • Tour Room 406: Come help your child’s class tour the food, celebrations, ancient civilizations and other features of Mexico in Room 406. Sign up for your child’s class here.
  • Fashion Show: Your child can dress up as a famous person from Mexico, a sports figure, or even something from nature in a performance for the school. Sign up to participate in the Fashion Show here.
‼️If you plan to volunteer during the week, please submit the Spring Branch ISD volunteer registration https://volunteer.springbranchisd.com‼️

​What is Cultural Arts Week?

Every year, the CA committee chooses a country for MDE to "visit." We like to focus on one country, so we can immerse the students in that country's culture and people a litte more than if we focused on a variety of countries. The hope is that by the end of the week, the kids are a little more educated and excited about that particular country -- and realize that the world is big and there's so much to see and appreciate about it!  To pull this off, the CA Committee decorates the school.  In addition to the decor, there are professional performances, theme days, a Room 406 tour, and student fashion show.

Room 406 Tour
Each class gets to experience Mexico up-close during the Room 406 tour. Kids are divided into small groups and "travel" from station to station, learning about a certain aspect of Mexico. Parent Volunteers are needed to present a station during your child's class visit. This is a fun way to hang out with your child and his/her class. Once you have signed up, you will be contacted and given a script for your station. 
​


Fashion Show
The Fashion Show is always a big hit with the kids. Models are needed -- so if your kiddo is interested, sign him or her up when it is posted!
