Last Friday was a busy day and full of events to enjoy. It was the last day of Spirit Week - which started on Wednesday - where students got the opportunity to get out of their usual mundane uniforms and dress up. On the first day of Spirit Week, students could come to school dressed up as their favorite movie, show, or book character. The second day was a blackout or whiteout day, and students had to coordinate an outfit that was either full black or full white. The final day of Spirit Week was culture day, where students could be dressed in their respective traditional attire or simply wear clothes that matched the color of their country’s flag to show off their cultural pride; this day also overlapped with the International Food Fair.
The International Food Fair, as the name suggests, was an occasion when parents from 23 different countries worked hard to prepare delicious food to serve the community and share their country's cultural food. There was food ranging from baked goods, desserts, and sweet and savory dishes from many countries such as Malaysia, India, Korea, America, and Germany. Students and teachers brought their families along to spend an entertaining afternoon with them.
“I enjoyed having a food fair after not having one for two years,” said Haylee Douglas (12), as the International Food Fair couldn’t be held for the past two years because of the pandemic.
Millie Morgan (12), when asked about what she liked about the food fair, replied, “My favorite food was the kimbap and the Korean station in general. I wanted to get more food from there, but all the food was soon gone.”
Overall, it was an excellent event to experience and celebrate the diversity of our school. People got to display the uniqueness of their own culture and serve the community with love. I learned to appreciate the multicultural community we have in Dalat.
