New English Learners Celebrate Family, Food and Culture at JFK
Students prepared themed fare from India to Mexico.

Deer Parkβs John F. Kennedy Intermediate School celebrated βCultures Around the World Through Foodβ with its students in the English as a New Language program and their families on Jan. 22.
The ENL students prepared themed foods from India (chole), Italy (pizza), Japan (candy sushi) and Mexico (tacos), and enjoyed playing puzzles and word games with their family members. Members from Deer Park High Schoolβs French and Spanish honor societies and Study Buddy program volunteered to help the youngsters at each of the food stations.
βThe students loved making candy sushi,β said Gina Palasciano, Deer Parkβs districtwide curriculum associate for world languages and ENL. βIt was a fun, food-friendly night for the several dozen people in attendance.β
