Heritage Feast!

Dear families,

Learning about traditions and celebrations is a large part of our Grade 2 curriculum in Social Studies. Hopefully you know that your child has studied many of the traditions and celebrations of Canada and the world during this school year.

The students have decided that they would love to have a celebration of our combined class heritage. As such, we are holding a world heritage feast on Monday, May 4th, 2013, during the morning.

Please choose a dish that is traditional to one country from your family heritage. Write up the ingredients clearly (so that I can ensure that those students not permitted to eat certain foods, stay clear of them). The name of the dish and the list of ingredients should be placed with the dish on the day of the feast. Please only send in enough to feed up to 2 people. The idea is for everyone to taste – not that they should stuff themselves!  Obviously, please send nothing containing peanuts.

In addition, students should please wear an outfit that is emblematic of a country in your heritage. For example, someone with Scottish heritage might wear a kilt, someone with Bengali heritage might wear a sari and someone with Russian heritage might wear a Sarafan.

Since there will be a wide variety of foods available on the day of the feast, your permission for your child’s participation is required, along with details regarding any foods that your child cannot eat for health, religious, or ethical reasons.

Please also indicate what dish you are planning to bring and describe it briefly on the letter that is coming home today.

Thanks in advance!


Mmes Paré.
