Dear Parents,

As you know, your child has been working on an extensive research report and project on one aspect of his/her ethnic background. I have asked your child to request that you help him/her proofread the report so that you have an idea of the scope of the report, and so you get a chance to read another piece of your child's writing.

As a culminating activity for this report, the students and I would like to invite you to an "International Luncheon" on Thursday, December 3, from 11:30-12:30PM. Your child's report, tourist poster, map, and flag will be on display in the room for you, other parents, and other students in the class to enjoy and read. If possible, I'm asking each child to bring in a small sampling of a food s/he learned about through research. Following Montgomery County Health Department regulations, food must be purchased at a store or restaurant, not made at home. It should be enough to serve 8-10 people. You and your child may also wish to dress in traditional clothing of the country. Both food and clothing are optional activities.

Please sign below and fill in the type of dish (ethnic food sample) you and your child plan to bring. Please call me with any questions or concerns about this project. As always, thank you for your help and support.
