A digital community cookbook featuring personal and ethnic student recipes from "Day of Diversity."
Learn more about us View RecipesCurrently, the recipes and food made for “Day of Diversity” are appreciated during the two hours of lunch, but after that, even the food that was greatly enjoyed is often forgotten about or people are unaware of how to recreate that food at home. To address this issue and allow for the culture emphasized during “Day of Diversity” to be further integrated into Mass Academy community members' daily lives, we developed a digital community cookbook. The digital cookbook records and saves the recipes of the food items made by the juniors over the years to create a place where the Mass Academy community can come together and make and eat authentic food from different ethnicities! We hope that as a result of developing a digital cookbook for this purpose, we will be able to help MAMS community members integrate diverse cultures and ethnicities into their daily lives.
Day of DiversityOrganized by Ms. Small, “Day of Diversity” is a memorable day at MAMS where the junior class is immersed in a variety of cultures through stories, traditions. performances, perspective, and food shared by their peers. On the day of the event, students arrive at school in traditional garb, ready to learn more about ethnicity and experiences of their peers. Throughout the day students share their “Race Cards," stories about their family history and background and performances, and most anticipated throughout the day is the sharing of food during lunch. Each student prepares and shares a dish related to their culture, ethnicity, or background and students and faculty enjoy the variety of items in a buffet style lunch. The buffet lunch almost always ends in the students conversing about how tasty the items were and about how they most definitely ate too much. Below are a few pictures from the celebration but you can view more pictures here.
