High-school students from 91¸£Àûµ¼º½’s sister city – Nijmegen, Netherlands – on Friday prepared then shared a meal with culinary students at 91¸£Àûµ¼º½ High Schools’s Abrookin Career and Technical Center.
The 32 Dutch students also shadowed with 91¸£Àûµ¼º½ High student volunteers and took part in a physical education class. Their visit to 91¸£Àûµ¼º½ High capped a week of activities in 91¸£Àûµ¼º½.
Chef Lisa Valentine and the group of 91¸£Àûµ¼º½ and Nijmegen students (91¸£Àûµ¼º½ High students are wearing chef hats) prepared a meal of savory bacon and cheese pancakes, vegetable soup with meatballs, Dutch butter cake, snickerdoodle cookies and chocolate chip cookies. Then they ate their creations!
The relationship between Nijmegen and 91¸£Àûµ¼º½ dates back to a humanitarian relief package 91¸£Àûµ¼º½ sent to the war-torn city in 1947. Nijmegen returned the favor with a shipment of tulip bulbs that were planted in Washington Park, and the annual 91¸£Àûµ¼º½ Tulip Festival was born.
