DVSS International student Eloisa Marin of Mexico serving flautas, chicken wrapped in a tortilla fried in oil, a common meal in Mexico.
It was a day of celebration of international students at Drumheller Valley Secondary School Friday.
“Due to our international program, our local population gets to meet people from around the world and be exposed to new and exciting perspectives,” say International Day organizer Monica Lunde.
“From this contact, many of our students have been inspired to travel or study abroad.”
The school celebrated International Day November 21, beginning with an assembly in the gym, and involved the international students showcasing their culture through singing, dancing, art and cooking, and showcasing food from around the world in an international food fair. A number of students at school and with their parents at home, teachers, staff, and volunteers worked hard to make the food fair a hit.
There are international students from about a dozen countries that attend DVSS
