Say Hello to May!

The May Calendar Is Ready

We have uploaded the May 2026 calendar to the Student Culture website. You can download and print the .pdf file here: https://www.studentculture.org/calendar.html
One of the things you will notice for much of May is that we are slowing things down quite a bit. We know that the end of the school year can be very busy. Many of our students are involved in a number of activities. To help parents navigate this season, MSC & HSC are taking a short break. Instead of our regular student gatherings, we are hoping to be able to attend some of the year activities that the students are participating in.
We would like to ‘show up’ at your students' event. If your child is participating in an activity this May, and they would like us to come and see them, please take a minute to email Jay, here, [email protected]. Be sure to include the type or name of the event, date, time and location, cost if applicable, and a contact email address and cell phone of a parent so we can reach out to you if we have any questions. We will do our best to try to get to as many events or activities as possible.

BY GROUPS…

Culture 5/6:

This first year of Culture 5/6 has been great, but we think we can do more. Plans are in the works to move Culture 5/6 to both the 9am & 11am service for the 2026-2027 school year. But the only way we can make this happen is with parent involvement. We are looking for 8 teams of 2 adults to help us make the next step of growth happen. The commitment is 12 weeks per quarter through the school year, and an 8 week commitment in June and July. We provide the curriculum and the training. If you are interested or would like to know more, please email Jay at, [email protected].
