The upper school’s newest affinity club, Asian Student Union (ASU), held a potluck on March 13 to celebrate various Asian cultures. Students and teachers brought traditional foods from countries they have connections to, or simply because they enjoy its cuisine. Everyone who contributed food briefly explained the context and culture behind the dish. From bubble tea to samosas- there was a wide assortment of dishes and Asian cultures represented. This was the club’s first event and brought together a diverse community and many smiles as they enjoyed delicious food!
