It is with great regret that the PTA has decided to cancel Wednesday's Heritage Night as a precautionary measure related to the covid-19 virus. While there hasn't been any specific concerns about our school or Fairfax county, given that Heritage Night brings in vendors and participants from all over the DC area, we do not want to contribute to an environment that might unintentionally lead to introduction/spread of the virus.
We are disappointed that we have had to come to this decision, especially in light of the fact that the organizers, Naddia Wiklund, Parul Agarwal, Medha David, Pushpinder Dhillon, Natasha Kanapathy, Sonya Choung, and Kim Glasser, have worked so hard to pull together an event we know would have been an incredible night. With over 100 volunteers from the Haycock and Longfellow schools committed to the event, over 30 countries to be represented, dozens of performers ready to put on a show, nearly 50 dishes and over 20 cultural displays ready to be shared, we want to thank all of the volunteers for their support and willingness to step up to make the event a great one.
