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 />
