FreeSPRING 2020 VIRTUAL CULTURAL FESTIVAL
APRIL 13, 2020
Our festival will work a bit differently this year, since most K-12 students are not currently in school. Typically, a teacher signs up their class to attend. This year you have few options:
1) The teacher can sign up their classes to attend, and then forward our emails with links to join to K-12 students and their parents to join from their homes.
2) Parents can sign their children up to attend.
