Enjoying a Taste of Country Day

In the spirit of the Parents' Association's mission of building community and creating connections and in celebration of the diversity within our school community, members of the Cincinnati Country Day School community enjoyed International Night on April 25.

It was truly a Taste of Country Day. Over 300 people enjoyed delicious food from around the globe, with more than 100 dishes representing the myriad cultures of the Country Day community.

Guests also experienced entertainment by Country Day students and members of the Country Day community. With more than 17 performances throughout the evening, acts included such performances as an Indian classical dance, a Veena/Bharatanatyam dance, a Filipino dance, a Chinese classical dance, Irish folk songs, a Kathak dance, and piano and vocal acts.

The performances culminated with Head of School Rob Zimmerman ’98 leading some of the guests in a Lebanese dabke.

The event was emceed by Aminata Bah ’24 and Ambika Love Sharma ’24. Both students wore clothes that represent their heritage, as did many of the guests.

“Tonight, we will enjoy this gift of time together,” welcomed Angela Joiner, director of equity, diversity, and inclusion & social-emotional learning. “We are grateful for the families who prepared delicious dishes to share with all of us, for those who will entertain us tonight with their performances, for the Parents’ Association for hosting this incredible event, and for everyone in attendance for making this a true celebration of community.”
