MSJMCW Story

Multicultural week is a week of celebration of cultures all over the world.  Every day when lunch bell rings, students eagerly rush to the horseshoe to buy delicious foods the school clubs sell. Food ranges from cake to burgers to Chinese food, food to satisfy anyone's craving. Unlike the regular lunch time, lunch time during multicultural week is a little more than an hour longer.  Students that can't drive yet, like freshmen and sophomores, spend their time walking around the horseshoe buying food.  However, students that could drive, like some juniors and seniors, drive to restaurants to buy food.  Students are encouraged to dress up according to the color that represents the country. (Asia=red, Africa=green...etc.) At the end of the week on Friday, class time is cut down even more than usual because L2 sets up an assembly to honor all of the cultures around the world.  Streamers and balloons are placed everywhere around the gym, and students perform dances to honor the culture.  To many Mission students, multicultural week is a week to cherish because the stress level decreases due to the festive atmosphere.  Multicultural week is a week to cherish.
