Our International Feast is on Thursday, November 21 st at 12:15. I encourage each family to come and bring a dish from your country of origin or a family favorite. I will set up the wiki page this week so that you can let us know what you will be bringing! It is always a fun day! We will read poems, sing to you and enjoy yummy food!
