About the Project

The Oroville Union High School District students would like to plan, execute, and celebrate four cultural celebrations throughout the national Latino Heritage month, Black History month, Native American Heritage Month, and Asian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. The celebrations will be student run and will include dinner, student art displays, student performances, student presented cultural information, and a motivational speaker with a focus on student success, overcoming obstacles, and how parents and families can aid in student success. With guidance from club advisors, and community stakeholders, the clubs from all three campuses will collaborate to plan logistics of the celebration, design promotional materials, plan décor, contact stakeholders and performers, and work within their budget. Our hope is to bring students, parents, and the community together in celebrating our students’ heritage by learning about our differences, similarities, and struggles.
