Multicultural Potluck
Friday, April 24
5:30 - 7:00 p.m.
(Friday After Spring Recess)
Celebrate the diversity of our community at the Multicultural Potluck on Friday, April 24, at 5:30 p.m. Families are encouraged to bring a favorite (nut free) dish to share while enjoying a variety of flavors from around the world. It’s a wonderful chance to connect, celebrate culture, and perhaps discover a new favorite meal.
Gluten-Free Table Available!
We are happy to make it possible for all families to enjoy the celebration safely. If you have a gluten-free dish you'd like to share, we welcome your contribution!
On Tuesday, April 28, we will celebrate our fourth annual Spring Giving Day, a special opportunity to come together as a community and support MSGH’s Children’s Fund.
Join us for a full day of connection and celebration. We’ll kick things off with coffee and conversation at 8:10 a.m., stop by, even if just for a quick cup to go. Then, from 3:00–4:00 p.m., gather on the hill for an afternoon of family fun, including pot decorating, seed planting, volleyball, and a small obstacle course for children.
At the heart of this day is the Children’s Fund, which supports every child at MSGH by bridging the gap between tuition and the full cost of an MSGH education. Your gift helps provide classroom materials, cultural enrichment, professional development for staff, flexible tuition, and long-term sustainability through the Endowment.
Our goal: 61 gifts in honor of 61 years.
Watch our MSGH Dandelion bloom as each petal fills in with every gift received.
Gifts made between April 1 and midnight on April 28 will count toward our total. Every gift, no matter the size, makes a meaningful difference.
