| Johnson's Annual MultiCultural Festival |  | Johnson High School's annual MultiCultural Festival began in the spring of 2006. It was sponsored by the Arts Communications and Humanities Academy in cooperation with the Hospitality, Tourism and Recreation Academy. Students from those academies helped plan it, based loosely on Central's and Harding's models. Our partners at 3M, led by Dick Streeper, also contributed.
Just the 200 students in those two academies attended the festival, though students from throughout Johnson set up the booths and entertained the crowd. Prizes were awarded to the dancers from Motion Crew and the Venezuela booth. It was a great success.
In 2008, the festival was opened up to the whole school, and 5th graders from Farnsworth came as well. There were more booths (great food!), more varied entertainment acts, and bocce ball.
Winners for the best entertainment and booth went to Allie Schmitz and the green Hmong booth.
The 2009 Festival is scheduled for Friday, April 17th at 1pm, once again in the fieldhouse. Information will be available in January for students who wish to perform or set up a booth.
