Last night our school celebrated Culture Night, an evening is dedicated to celebrating our multi-cultural community. Our school had seven Pavilions representing cultures from around the world, giving the opportunity for visitors to “travel the world” in a single room. Visitors moved from one Pavilion to another having their Passports stamped as they entered each Pavilion. Each Pavilion showcased samples of food:
- Asian - dumplings and sushi
- Middle East - delicious rooh afza and turkish coffee
- Canada - pancakes and maple syrup
- Europe - meatballs and black forest cake
- Africa - plantain chips
- South Asian - samosas served with several fantastic sauces
- Caribbean - wonderful fried potato cakes
I was an advisor for the Middle East Pavillion. For weeks, these students were dedicated team in creating a wonderful backdrop, a fully decorated table and food representing their culture. They even outfitted me with a hijab and beautiful traditional dress.
Interactive entertainment for children of all ages including dance classes, face painting, campfire photograph postcards, henna, and games such as limbo and a piñata. Great work guys!
