IPS and IMS Cultural Fair
We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all who attended our first annual Cultural Fair. It was a wonderful event where students from Independence Primary School and Independence Middle School came together to learn and present about various cultures. Your support and participation made the event truly special, and we are grateful for your involvement in celebrating diversity and cultural awareness.
We look forward to future events where our community can come together!
