International Lunch Celebrates Cultures at SMS

australiaThe annual International Lunch for Scarsdale Middle School students took place on Tuesday May 23rd. Every year it is a much anticipated event for kids, who get to enjoy a fabulous meal in a festive atmosphere and learn a lot at the same time. Each country has a booth with decorations, costumes, language, food, and people. It highlights the many different nationalities and cultures of the SMS student and parent body. Students have an opportunity to spend their lunch period traveling from country to country all within the Great Hall. They sample different cuisines, courtesy of the SMS PTA and the SMS Student Organization (SO).

The main organizers of this event were the SMS PTA Multicultural committee with Jing Lu, Asma Naeem, and Monica Farha as the committee co-chairs, SMS PTA president, Sharon Higgins, and faculty advisor to the SO, Mr. Steve Rambone.

It takes a village to pull off this fabulous feast. This year, there was a record number of 15 countries participating.
