Ridgetop is home for many students. Many of these students come from different families, backgrounds and culture. People usually gravitate more to other people that they look like or act like. But we don't have to be separated into a certain group just by race or look. Many people have things in common with people they normally wouldn't talk to. So what better way to bring these students together than Multi-Cultural club? There students can celebrate being different, promote awareness and build up appreciation for other cultures. Students can learn about other peoples life style and cultures. In Multi-Cultural club there are no special hobbies or skills you need to have, all you need to do is be open and willing to learn about other cultures.

In multicultural club we do many events like: mix it up day, black history month assembly's and many others. If your a natural born leader you can be an MC for school events. If your not, you can do your part and help with things like making posters and giving information on events.
