International Night
We Need YOU! Take a free trip around the world—without leaving Arizona.
International Night is our biggest event of the year, and we need your help to make it a success! We’re looking for families to host a cultural booth in February or March, from 5–8 PM.
Every booth makes a meaningful impact and helps create a joyful, community-building celebration. Booths can feature traditional foods, games, learning activities, music, dance lessons, or anything that offers students a window into your family’s heritage.
You are welcome, you are wanted, and we truly can’t do this without you!
📩 For more information and to host a booth, please email Cate Szager, PSO Vice President, at psovicepresident@glendaleprep.org.
