On March 10th, Dalat came together to celebrate the many cultures that make up the school. Until Covid, PTO, the Parent Teacher Organization, organized a yearly food fair to celebrate the cultures and experience the food within our community. This was the first year of its return. In the same week, the Freshman class ExCom hosted Spirit Week, a week that allowed students to dress up according to the different themes assigned that day, and coincidentally cultural day was assigned on the same day as the food fair.
On the first day of spirit week, Wednesday, students dressed up as characters, characters from movies and books; on Thursday, black and white was the theme, and Friday was cultural day.
Benjamin Wong, a senior in high school, said, “I thought cultural day was the best part about spirit week. It was amazing getting to see all the different diverse cultures in our international school come to life. We go to such a unique school where we get to appreciate the different cultures at our school daily, which is something that I will not take for granted.”
At the food fair, countries were assigned to individual stands, where they were allowed to express their own cultures.
Darryl Dwumfour, a student who attended the international food fair, expressed his excitement about the event, stating, “The international food fair was something that I was pretty excited about since it had not happened in a few years. It was great seeing the entire school come to life and come together to celebrate the different cultures at this school through something that we all love: food.”
The International Food Fair and Spirit Week brought the community together to celebrate and appreciate the diversity within the school. Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, the PTO organized this event and showcased the different cultures within the community.
