MSJMCW Story

Every year, the students of Mission San Jose High School participate in an event called Multicultural Week. It is an event where students explore a variety of cultures, primarily through food and clothing. The clubs and individual classes use it as a fundraiser to raise money for their events.

Planning starts weeks in advance as students in the leadership committee set up the structure for the week and all of the necessary rules to follow. There are limits on where food is from and how it can be served for the safety of the students. There is a layout for where each club is set up.

This year, it is my final year as a student participating in the event. I fondly remember the past years when I participated in helping set up the booths for clubs and buying food. It is nice to see so many of the students dressed up in  their traditional ethnic clothing as well. The past couple of days, I have enjoyed walking up and down the horseshoe and enjoying the food from the club.

It has been an enjoyable experience participating with so many others in my school, regardless of grade. The feeling of unity is nice.
