S.N.A.C.K. Together (Share Nibbles And Cultural Knowledge) is a Peter Kirk PTSA event that will bring our school together to celebrate the cultural diversity of our community through the sharing of snacks from different cultures around the world.

 

During this virtual Zoom event, we will sample snacks and drinks from different regions of the world. Each tasting will be led by a cultural speaker (a Peter Kirk community member!) who will introduce the snack, talk a little bit about their culture and share personal experiences and memories of their culture with stories and photos. This year's event  will feature speakers from the cultural regions of Canada, Korea, Scotland and Philippines.

 

 

Previously featured cultural regions have included Japan (Osaka), India (Jaipur), Ethiopia (Addis Ababa), Israel (Haifa), Russia (Yevpatoria), Iran (Tehran), Brazil (Belem Do Para), Thailand, Colombia, China, Turkey (Izmir) and United States of America (Central Appalachia).

I have food allergy/intolerance concerns. Will the snacks be allergen-friendly?

We understand everyone has unique health concerns and will be making a best effort to translate all ingredients listed in each snack as well as highlighting snacks that may contain one of the 9 major food allergens (milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, sesame and soy). However, by participating in this event and consuming the snacks you are accepting all responsibility in the event of an adverse reaction.

What does S.N.A.C.K stand for?

S.N.A.C.K. is an acronym for Share Nibbles And Cultural Knowledge.
