Multimedia: International Night

During International Night, families from different countries served their culture's foods. Students, parents and staff walked around the cafeteria sampling the different items. Photo by Billy Bird.

The International Club hosted the tenth annual International Night March 10. For the first hour, families from different countries served their native foods. Afterwards, students performed acts, like dances and songs, from their culture in the auditorium. Students who didn’t attend International Night saw some of the acts in a diversity assembly during school March 11.
