![Members of the Paly Poly Club wear vibrant Polynesian attire and perform a traditional dance. According to June Tau, junior and performer, the assembly was a great opportunity to experience other cultures and backgrounds. "It [assembly] brings awareness to respect everyone's other cultures," Tau said. "I liked how we were able to see not only ours today, but other countries as well. It was nice to see that everyone comes from different things and to also respect their background."](https://palyvoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/IMG_8058-2-1200x800.jpg)
![Palo Alto community members enjoy dinner provided by local restaurants on March 8 at the Lucie Stern Community Center as part of the city's Ifar dinner event. According to Shounak Dharap, vice president of the Palo Alto Unified School District board, events that gather the community allow for interactions that wouldn't occur normally. "They [community events] let us reach out and talk to other folks we might not normally interact with, or who we might interact with in very different ways," Dharap said. "It allows folks to see their elected representatives in a different light, in a way that is more community building and less just in their governance roles."](https://palyvoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/IMG_3254-1-1-1200x1070.jpg)
