The purpose of the Cultural Corner is two-fold:
 Ø   This site offers a cultural glimpse into the native countries of many of the diverse students in Charlotte-Mecklenburg schools.
 Ø   The site can also be used by teachers to support the content areas of social studies, language arts and subjects containing a multicultural component.
