Elwood Students, Community Enjoy A Taste of Culture

Elwood-John H. Glenn High School welcomed students, families and members of the community to explore diverse international cultures during an evening of food and entertainment at its annual International Night on March 4.

Coordinated by the Foreign Language Department, the event offered the opportunity for families and friends to enjoy a wide spread of traditional international foods provided by high school students in foreign language classes. Along with the delicious foods and desserts, students decorated their international table with posters, flags and various artifacts.

While satisfying their taste buds, guests were entertained with performances from talented Elwood students Jasmine Pigott and Anna Mendoza, who sang “Let it Go” from the movie Frozen in French and Italian and a dance routine by students in the ASL class.

“Students and members of the community that come to this event enjoy the food and learning about the different cultures,” Elwood-John H. Glenn High School Spanish teacher Diane Warren said. “Students are not just learning a language, they are learning a culture.”
