A Cultural program w/Traditional Live Music & Folk Dance

Students from the CBS SS of Silver Spring will perform in celebration of the Khmer New Year, traditionally a celebration of the end of the harvesting season. May is Asian-American Heritage Month!

According to Montgomery Planning, "Cambodian Americans in Montgomery County, MD, represent a distinct community, with the Cambodian Buddhist Society in Silver Spring hosting the first Khmer temple in the United States. The community maintains cultural traditions, such as traditional dance, music, and language classes for youth."
