Exploring World Cultures through Food
Second and fourth graders have been exploring our similarities and differences with help from a recently published book, This is How We Do It by Matt Lamothe. Inspired by a trip to Uganda, the author follows seven children from around the globe through their typical school day. One theme in the book describes the children's school lunches, and thanks to our incredible dining staff we will get to sample these delicious foods on Thursdays starting next week.

This is an amazing opportunity for our children to experience different world cultures in our very own lunch room! Lamothe says, “I believe the more you learn about different people, the more you see yourself in them, and the more accepting you become.” Keeping his poignant sentiment in mind, we hope community members will consider attending the Celebration of Cultures Family Dinner on January 25.
