English as a new language students in the West Hempstead School District gathered for an international luncheon on May 9 to celebrate the progress and achievements they made during the school year.
The event brought together ENL students from grades 7-12 in the secondary school’s gymnasium, who were tasked with bringing in native dishes to create a buffet. The varied cuisine featured traditional foods from several geographic regions, including Armenia, China, Colombia, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, France, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Peru, the U.S, and Venezuela.
Along with enjoying a variety of ethnic foods, some students engaged with teachers and staff to discuss their accomplishments.
