S.N.A.C.K. Together (Share Nibbles And Cultural Knowledge) is a Peter Kirk PTSA event that will bring our school together to celebrate the cultural diversity of our community through the sharing of snacks from different cultures around the world.
During this virtual Zoom event, we will sample snacks and drinks from different regions of the world. Each tasting will be led by a cultural speaker (a Peter Kirk community member!) who will introduce the snack, talk a little bit about their culture and share personal experiences and memories of their culture with stories and photos. This year's event will feature speakers from the cultural regions of Canada, Korea, Scotland and Philippines.
Previously featured cultural regions have included Japan (Osaka), India (Jaipur), Ethiopia (Addis Ababa), Israel (Haifa), Russia (Yevpatoria), Iran (Tehran), Brazil (Belem Do Para), Thailand, Colombia, China, Turkey (Izmir) and United States of America (Central Appalachia).
