A new event to help educate students and families on various cultures found throughout the world will come to Wylie,

On Friday, April 22, the Wylie ISD Council of PTAs will host their first ever “World of Wylie” event.

The event will allow 5th and 6th grade students an opportunity to showcase a country or culture of their choice.

The event will be held from 6 to 7 p.m. at the Wylie Education Service Center and is free to all.
