Taste of World Cultures- On March 12,
beginning at 5:30 p.m., the World Language Department at GHS will sponsor
the
13th annual Taste of World Cultures, an international potluck meal
with demonstrations, musical and dance performances, and an international
fashion show. |
| The event pulls in students
and their families from all over Greenfield, including especially the
rather diverse demographic that has emerged in recent years of families
from Eastern Europe, Pakistan, India, Southeast Asia, and Latin American
countries, as well as the handful of exchange students we host every
year (this year's are from France, Germany, and Iceland). The event and
the week leading up to it provide a chance for students from other cultures
or studying other cultures to share and celebrate their learning. Many local businesses and restaurants contribute to the event: paper products, bread, beverages, coffee, gift certificates, or food. Performances include students and community volunteers but also a headlining act. This year we welcome Grupo Folklórico Palo Santo , a locally-based group that performs Afro-Cuban dance and music. The event is free and open to the public. Bring a dish from your own or another culture to share! |
