= = =All-school mailing due to Dana Murphy by April 1st. Please review.= Dear Parents, International Week takes place April 19th and is fast approaching. We have exciting activities planned including a day of craft-making, a game that tests students’ knowledge of customs from an array of cultures, a martial arts performance and of course, the annual International Luncheon. The week kicks off with presentations from exchange students from various countries currently living in the area for one year. The annual International Luncheon is being held this year on Thursday, April 22nd. Students who study either French or Spanish prepare a dish from another culture, and these contributions replace the regular lunch of the day at a cost of $5 to all members of the community. Your child has received instructions in his/her language class on how the lunch works. Attached is a letter explaining the details and a form that needs to be completed and returned to a member of the World Language Department by Monday, April 12th. With your help we anticipate a successful and fun-filled week for the entire MBS community.


 * I will attach the letter after everyone has reviewed it. *

THE INTERNATIONAL LUNCHEON April 22, 2010 The International Luncheon, which takes place during the lunch periods on Thursday of International Week, has become a tradition thanks to the support of the MBS community. Students and parents are asked to prepare a main course, a side dish, an appetizer or a dessert that represents cuisine from ANY foreign country. Each dish becomes a donation to raise money to subsidize our students studying abroad in a home-stay program. In the past we have also used money for worthy causes, most recently for the relief efforts in Haiti.
 * PLEASE REVIEW ASAP !!!!!!!!!

First we ask that you and your son/daughter decide which dish you would prefer to contribute. Although any amount is appreciated, portions that serve 6-10 are sufficient. The form on the last page can be completed and returned to your child’s world language teacher. If you have more than one child at the school, only one dish is necessary. You may keep this page as a reminder of the event. The deadline for the FORM is **Monday, April 12th. Food should be brought to the cafeteria the morning of **April 22nd. **It is recommended that food be placed in disposable dishes or clearly labeled with your name to ensure safe return. Please write the name of the dish, its country of origin, and serving or heating instructions on an index card attached to the platter. All leftover food is donated to the Morris Street Mission to feed the homeless. Please understand that there is no guarantee that your child will be able to eat the exact dish you have prepared. We cannot help in funding our student study abroad programs without your participation. The entire World Language Department recognizes and thanks you in advance for your efforts. This day offers the opportunity to recognize and celebrate cultural diversity by participating and partaking of foods from around the world. We look forward to serving and tasting your contributions. If you have any questions, please contact me at the school by email.

Sincerely,

Vaughan Leigh Department Chair **

Letter home to parents:**
 * || Dear Middle School Parents,

Thanks to the support of the MBS community, the International Luncheon has become a traditional part of International Week. This year we are asking the families of Middle School students to prepare a dessert from any foreign culture. These desserts will be served during the lunch periods on April 7 to raise funds for our language students. In addition, we are pleased to announce that part of the proceeds from this year’s International Luncheon will go to help sponsor an Indonesian child named Yanto through WorldVision. Because Middle School students will be providing the desserts for this worthy cause, they will not need to pay to enjoy them during the luncheon. Any leftover food will be donated to the Morris Street Mission.

As a first step, we ask that you and your child decide what foreign dessert you would like to contribute and how many portions you can prepare. Although any amount is appreciated, 10 or more servings per dish will suffice to share with the entire school. If you have more than one child enrolled in the school, you only need to contribute one dessert. Please fill out the attached form and return to your child’s world language teacher no later than Friday, April 3.

Please bring your dessert to the cafeteria the morning of Tuesday, April 7. We recommend that food be placed in disposable dishes; otherwise, label them clearly with your name to ensure their safe return. On an index card, the following information should be written: 1. Name of the dessert 2. Country of origin 3. Serving instructions (e.g. serve chilled, etc.) 4. Ingredients (especially if they contain nuts, milk, wheat, or chocolate)

International Week provides an opportunity to explore cultures from around the world. We thank you in advance for your participation in helping us bring gastronomic diversity to our school community. We look forward to serving and tasting your culinary contributions.

Sincerely,

The MBS World Language Teachers

April 17, 2008

The International Luncheon, which takes place during the lunch periods on Thursday of International Week, has become a tradition thanks to the support of the MBS community. Students and parents are asked to prepare a main course, a side dish, an appetizer or a dessert that represents cuisine from ANY foreign country. Each dish becomes a donation to raise money to subsidize our students studying abroad in a home-stay program.

First we ask that you and your son/daughter decide which dish you would prefer to contribute and how many portions you can prepare. Although any amount is appreciated, most in the past have fed between 8-20 people. The form on the last page can be completed and returned to your child’s world language teacher. If you have more than one child at the school, only one dish is necessary. You may keep this page as a reminder of the event. The deadline for the FORM is Friday, April 11th.

Food should be brought to the cafeteria the morning of April 17th. It is recommended that food be placed in disposable dishes or clearly labeled with your name to ensure safe return. Please write the name of the dish, its country of origin, and serving or heating instructions on an index card attached to the platter. All leftover food is donated to the Morris Street Mission to feed the homeless. Please understand that there is no guarantee that your child will be able to eat the exact dish you have prepared.

We cannot help in funding our student study abroad programs without your participation. The entire World Language Department recognizes and thanks you in advance for your efforts.

Hi,

Now that you have the FOOD FORMS in your possession, I would like to inform/remind you of the logistics. Remember that the success of the luncheon is in the hands of our students. However, following the suggestions below will help ensure that we get enough food to feed the entire school.

1. Please spend 5 minutes talking about the importance and significance of the International Luncheon with your students. Help them to understand that this is a tradition that raises money for their peers.

2. Please read the forms they hand in to make certain that a) one parent has provided a signature b) the intended contribution falls into the category of “international”. In other words, pretzels are NOT international.

3. Return the forms to my box or to my room. You may hand in a few at a time or wait until you have accumulated a sizeable amount.

4. Please explain to students that the deadline for the form (the 11th) is NOT the day they bring in the food.

5. Put the form deadline and the date of the lunch on your assignment sheets. Participation IS required for all students taking a language. If you treat it as an assignment, students will take it seriously.

6. If a student loses a form, either give him/her a new one or have the student put the necessary information on any sheet of paper.

I hope my directions are clear. If you have any questions, I will gladly answer them. Vaughan__ ||  ||
