East Prairie School is proud to have taken a leadership role in supporting the 2020 Niles Township Coming Together program. Coming Together seeks to build knowledge and appreciation for the diversity represented in Niles Township. This year’s theme is Journey to Niles Township. Here is a link to the video introduction.
Talk to any person in Niles Township and they’ll have a story for how they or their family got here. Some are stories of recent immigration, others of being transported to these lands against their will. Still others are stories of fleeing oppression or relocating in search of greater prosperity. Our origin stories are as central to who we are as the cultures we are a part of and celebrate. For the past decade, Coming Together has explored some of the cultures present in our community. This year, we will explore something we all have in common: the stories of our journeys to Niles Township.
East Prairie is pleased to host several of the Coming Together events:
Wednesday, 2/5 - an evening with author Jasmine Warga
Sunday, 2/23 - Bulgarian Dance Ensemble Horo
Saturday, 2/29 - Leap Into Games From Different Cultures
Here is a link to more information on these and all of the Coming Together events. We hope to see you at Niles West for the opening ceremony on Sunday, January 26th.
