INTERNATIONAL FAMILY FUN DAY:Dear Parents,

The holidays are quickly approaching, and Im sure we areall looking forward to enjoying some well-deservedvacation time. However, the PTA has its biggest event of

the school year coming up as well International FamilyFun Day (IFFD), which will take place on January 21, 2012.This is an event that continues to be a highlight of the ISMexperience.

There are many reasons for attending and participating inIFFD from children enjoying the games and fun withtheir friends to parents experiencing a new adventure inculinary diplomacy at the International Food TastingBooths.

In past years, countries from all over the world have been

represented in the International Food Fair. It only takes a

small group of volunteers to put together a booth, andsharing our diverse, multi-national cuisine is a trulyrewarding experience. Please contact me if you want toget involved. Any help at all would be greatlyappreciated!

Thus far I have at least one volunteer for the following

countries:

Japan, Taiwan, Pakistan, Thailand, Latin

America, Australia/New Zealand, and Europe

Here are the countries that have not yet been represented:

Philippines, India, Korea, America/Canada, China, andIndonesia.If you are interested or know anyone who is, my contactinformation is:
