Cultural Diversity Fair
We are in the midst of planning our Cultural Diversity Fair, scheduled for Sunday, September 19, 1-4PM outside in the PAC parking lot at LZHS. This inaugural event was initially scheduled for April 2020, but was canceled due to COVID. We're excited to get it back on the calendar!
