The International Dinner celebrates the selected countries-of-study and their native cultures via food, family, song, and dance. The dinner portion of the evening allows diners to sample small portions of representative foods. We aim to obtain the food items at discounted or no cost.
Recently our Student Council leaders joined the Parent Planning team in a brainstorming session. Our students are eager and brimming with good ideas, we are in need of more parents to join us in executing this key event.
During the month of January, afterschool "arts-n-craft" sessions will be scheduled to create the decorations needed for the event. A fun way for all our students to meet and work together.
Of the 9 countries of study - the following countries have been selected to be featured in cuisine and entertainment portions of our evening event: United States, Brazil, India, Spain, Iraq, China
