On February 27, 2025, Burleigh Elementary was alive with the sights, sounds, and stories of cultures from around the world as Elmbrook’s English Learner (EL) teachers hosted the annual EL Family Engagement Night. The vibrant event brought families together to celebrate their heritage through cultural displays and performances, creating a night filled with connection, learning, and appreciation for the diversity within our community.

With families representing a variety of backgrounds, the evening showcased traditions, music, and customs from across the district. Attendees had the opportunity to experience the richness of different cultures first hand—whether through intricate artwork, traditional attire, or captivating performances that highlighted the talents and histories of Elmbrook families.

The success of this event is a testament to the dedication of Elmbrook’s EL teachers and the families who participated, creating a welcoming space for cultural exchange. Year after year, EL Family Engagement Night has continued to be a powerful reminder that our differences make us stronger, and that when we come together, we build a more inclusive and enriched community.
