Together Table

Students will organize a Together Table where many of our International students and students challenged to meet and speak with other can gather for an inclusive lunch. Goal of the Together Table is for teenagers to turn off their technology and tune into each other. Eating and sharing together builds community.

Update (April 28, 2017)

Our Leadership class started this idea with full energy! We have staff, students, international students from all grades and subject areas planning on attending this upcoming Wednesday. Now, is the push to determine the best food items to purchase, prepare and share during this community lunch.
