The food and cultural traditions of nearly 20 countries were on display recently at McCleskey Middle School, which held an International Night.
Attendees sampled the cuisines from Germany, Slovenia, Brazil, Venezuela, Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago, Dominican Republic, the Philippines, Panama, Denmark, England, Jordan, Iran, and other nations.
Music, dance and other cultural traditions were highlighted during the festivities.
McCleskey paraprofessional Doug Hale said that “obviously, it shows everybody here that you are welcome here, that you mean something, that you matter. You might be the only Ecuadorian here, but it matters to us.”
English and Language Arts teacher April Staropoli said that “I also think it builds community. People come together, and it builds community.”
