MPA’s ongoing commitment to fostering global awareness and cultural appreciation took another step as we hosted an amazing cross-age celebration focused on the country of Haiti, dubbed the Haiti Celebration! Students gathered in the Commons, Library, and Gallery to experience firsthand the wonders of Haiti. Together, we explored various aspects of Haitian culture, including its geography, history, language, cuisine, music, and art. Highlighting the event included the sampling of Soupe Joumou, also known as “Freedom Soup!”
The celebration was a collaborative effort between world language faculty member Liz DesLauriers, and MPA parent Moira Duverneau-Salifu, and her family. We are incredibly grateful to Moira for her invaluable guidance, expertise, and willingness to share her beautiful culture with all of us.
