ESL Picnic<br />

About thirty-five students, parents, and<br />

teachers were in attendance at the annual ESL<br />

International Night meal on Tuesday, May 24.<br />

For this year’s event, we changed the venue<br />

and program from a pitch-in meal at <strong>Brookville</strong><br />

<strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong>’s cafeteria to a less-formal<br />

cookout at the playground of Yellow Branch<br />

Elementary <strong>School</strong>.<br />

Hotdogs, drinks, and dessert were provided,<br />

and parents brought their favorite dishes to<br />

share with other families. The relaxed picnic<br />

atmosphere with camp chairs and blankets<br />

allowed the children to play ball and enjoy the<br />

playground equipment while adults caught up<br />

on news from their students’ teachers, and met<br />

newcomers. The grand finale of the meal was<br />

make-your-own ice cream sundaes, with a<br />

large variety of toppings from which to choose.<br />

Door-prizes were given out just before our<br />

evening came to a close due to the threat of<br />

rain moving in to the area.<br />

Thanks to these <strong>Brookville</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong><br />

students for their assistance in putting together<br />

the invitation for our dinner: Seokjin Cho, cover<br />

art, lettering, and Korean translation; Vicki Sun,<br />

Chinese translation; David Suh, Spanish<br />

translation. Represented that evening were<br />

speakers of Spanish, Tagalog, and Korean,<br />

although our Campbell County population<br />

includes students from many more countries.<br />
