International Supper at OCS.

 Last evening the school gym was full of good sights,  pleasant smells and happy people.

It was the International Supper event.

From 5 to 7 pm different grades or classrooms sold items from a certain country with tickets 🎟 bought as you entered the gym. 

Tables set up in the center of the gym were full of people enjoying their purchases.

Students and parents or grandparents  friends or other relatives and teachers were  behind the tables or in the kitchen, giving the food or selling tickets at the door or making sure food was ready to serve. 

Prettily decorated Romanian table. 

Lori-Anne's class with the lovely English tea and scones with Devonshire cream.... 

So nice to have the students interact with people.  He said this was Turkish food... next year maybe they will sell Turkish delight!!

 

Hope the school did well with this fundraiser.   It was so good to see this tradition being carried on. 

Back in 1977 the graduating class of that year started the First Annual International Supper.

As I was a member of that class I remember it well. 

We were at the school, along with our sponsor's, on the floor in the science room painting signs to go behind the tables.

Before the event our class called people we knew who owned a business or were interested in helping, to donate most of the food.  One person donated German torte from a bakery,  others donated food supplies or money.  It was such a great success.  

What a great feeling of accomplishment we felt. 

May the 2023 students, teachers, parents and friends enjoy the rewards of their diligent work.
