Niles Township Celebrate Journeys To District 219 On March 7 In Skokie

From Niles Township High Schools District 219:

February 28, 2020

Talk to any person in Niles Township and they’ll have a story for how they or their family got here. Some are stories of recent immigration, others of being transported to these lands against their will. Still others are stories of fleeing oppression or relocating in search of greater prosperity. Our origin stories are as central to who we are as the cultures we are part of and celebrate. For the past decade, Coming Together has explored some of the cultures present in our community. This year, we will explore something we all have in common: the stories of our journeys to Niles Township.

Celebrate with diverse cultures of the D219 community as they share their journeys to D219 on Saturday, March 7 at Niles North High School, 9800 Lawler Avenue, Skokie. This free event is hosted by the Niles Township Family Liaisons. The event begins at 1 p.m. Guests of all ages can visit cultural tables, try cultural foods, listen to music, and take photos. You will learn Journey Stories from D219 Family Liaisons.

Locations: Niles North High School (Enter at Door 16), 9800 Lawler Avenue, Skokie. Event held in Old Commons (by Door 7)

Please bring photo id.
