At our June 28, 2018 monthly Carroll County NAACP meeting member Terry Whye asked to have a flyer on the 2nd Annual Carroll County Public Schools Cultural Expo distributed to the membership.

I asked at the meeting if this was a continuation of the Carroll County Public Schools annual National Inclusive Schools Week program in which I participated. Find an article about that program, “Westminster Eagle: 4th Annual National Inclusive Schools Week”, here: https://kevindayhoffwestgov-net.blogspot.com/2004/12/westminster-eagle-4th-annual-national.html

Terry said that the Cultural Expo was a different event.

In a recent email Terry reported that she asked Pamela A. Mesta, the CCPS Supervisor of ESOL/Nonpublic Liaison, for more information and that Ms. Mesta said that specific event is just in its second year.

Terry also reports that the predecessor was an annual event just for school teachers. Now, it is an event that is open to the public. You can register using the info at the bottom of the poster. No costs, no sign ups for the various presentations. First come, first seated until maximum capacity is reached for each room. We do not have to stay at our tables the whole time unless we want to. They encourage everyone enjoy the stage entertainment and programs.

On Wed., June 13, 2018 member Erin Snell, Carroll County Public Library Outreach Services, distributed an email to Carroll Citizens for Racial Equality friends, in which she reported “the 2nd Annual Culture Expo which will be held at Winters Mill High School again this year. Please consider attending this engaging event. This event is organized and hosted by the Carroll County Public School system. The public is invited to attend. Please see the registration information at the bottom of the flyer. Look for the Carroll Citizens for Racial Equality booth at the event! We hope to see you there!”
