Last week, we embarked on a culinary journey around the world to celebrate Staff Appreciation Week.

Our adventure began in the charming streets of Paris on Monday, where our staff were treated to the rich aromas of freshly brewed coffee, accompanied by flaky croissants, delicate pastries, and an abundance of fresh fruit, transporting them to the heart of France.

Tuesday brought the vibrant flavors of Mexico to our school as families from TK, Kinder, and 1st grade joined forces to create a "Nacho" average teacher taco bar and a lively Mexican fiesta, igniting our taste buds with spicy salsas and savory delights.

Midweek, our staff indulged in a global dessert extravaganza on Wednesday, where they sampled a tantalizing array of sweet treats from various corners of the world, each bite a celebration of diversity and sweetness.

Thursday saw us journeying to the bustling streets of China and beyond, as our staff savored the bold and enticing flavors of Asia. From savory noodles to sweet and spicy chicken, and even fresh sushi, it was a culinary adventure like no other.

Finally, we concluded our worldly expedition on Friday in the Land of the Rising Sun, Japan. Our staff delighted in an assortment of exquisite sweet and savory Japanese-style sandwiches, each bite a testament to the artistry and precision of Japanese cuisine.

All of this would not have been possible without our VPs of Volunteers, Janis Yu and Alice Kim and most of all, our chair Ellie Diaz! Thank you ladies for your dedication to our school community!
