Inver Grove Heights Middle School International Club

The Inver Grove Heights Middle School International Club is an organization committed to the understanding and appreciation of diverse cultural heritages on an individual, school, community and world level. Our goal is to explore our own cultural heritage while we investigate the heritage of others to bolster connection, improve understanding and increase social justice.

The intent of the organization is to be educational, philanthropic and interesting to its members. Activities would be decided on by the group. I anticipate interacting with various presenters, looking at the arts, playing games, watching movies, learning about other languages, participating in social justice learning activities, service learning and learning about all aspects of culture.

The Inver Grove Heights Middle School International Club is open to all students interested in our goals and activities. Fitting with these goals we would like to encourage membership amongst students who are under represented in other school activities.
