The Community Dinner Series is a welcoming space for neighbors to come together over a shared meal. Each event highlights a different culture through food, stories, and connection. The purpose is to build relationships, celebrate diversity, and strengthen our community...one dinner at a time. November 14: This event is a celebration of our Asian and Pacific Islander communities. It’s meant to highlight the traditions, stories, and strengths that make these cultures such an important part of our schools and our larger community. We’re bringing people together to lift up those voices, share food, music, and experiences, and learn from one another in a meaningful way. It’s really about connection creating a space where everyone feels seen, valued, and included. As for the menu, it will feature a mix of traditional Asian and Pacific Island dishes, including a vegetarian option. We are also mindful of food allergies and will label dishes clearly once the menu is confirmed. There will be short presentations and cultural highlights during the evening, featuring community members sharing their stories and traditions.
