My Memo to Administration
below is a copy of my memo to the administration about my food festival
Memo
Date: 1/28/2008
To: Dr. Richard Werthiemer , Mrs. Patricia Johnson, Mr. Mario Zing
From: Cherie.Freeman
RE: Ethnic Food Festival
Priority: [Urgent]
Dear Administration,
For my graduation project I am planning on hosting an ethnic food festival here at City Charter High School. The objective is to initiate a new found relationship between foreign cultures and foods to the 12th grade students. It is an approach to open their horizons to new ideas with not just food, but other cultures as well. I feel this will be a fresh beginning for students and faculty as well to recognize and acknowledge culture and heritages foreign to our values.
