This Friday - December 16 - We will celebrate International Day. Mabry will have a international group of dancers perform for the students. Also in the class,student who would like to participate can bring a sample of an international food. Students should bring in enough for their own class(28- 30 students) and we prefer it to be single servings or precut for convience. Student can research family hertiage and find a simple recipe to make and bring in. This is an extra credit project.
