International potluck

On Thursday Sept 20th the CLS department held it's annual International Potluck. Actually there are several held during the school year. The Senior class really out did itself this year. There was so much food and such a variety of food that whoever happened to be walking the halways was invited to partake. The empty tables waiting to be filled.

And filled they were.

Al was batching that week but still brought the perogies. Sorry they were not homemade this year.

An abundance of food.

Plenty of sweets as well.

Some guests loading up.

Thanks Seniors for the great variety and quantity of food.
