Our school is known for its diversity: 38% of Somerset students speak a language other than English, with 18 languages represented in our school.

We will have classroom activities led by our teachers and parent volunteers (more information will be announced soon). In addition, we will finish this week with our annual Festival of Cultures from 6pm to 8:30pm on Friday, March 23^rd in our Cafeteria. In this festival, we will have multi- cultural clothes parade, stage performance, international food, and booth display, etc. Please mark your calendar for this fun week.
