Hillcrest HS Students Host a Hawaiian Luau
Guests were able to sample the delectable customary luau food
Aloha! The Hillcrest High School “American and World Cuisine” students hosted a Hawaiian Luau to practice several of the island recipes covered in the Hawaii Unit. A luau is a traditional Hawaiian party that is usually accompanied by food and entertainment. The students sought to simulate this traditional celebration.
Students were greeted at the door with a lei presentation by special guests Associate Principal Scott Buchanan and Principal Renee Simms. Then they were surprised by famous custodian Jesse Tyler, followed by IMC specialist Lisa Walsh. All the visitors were able to sample the delectable customary food.
The students prepared their dishes the day before which included: tropical fruit kabobs, veggie pasta salad, Hawaiian rolls for ham off the bone sandwiches, and white chocolate/macadamia nut cookies. Among people from Hawaii, the concepts of "luau" and "party" are often blended, resulting in graduation luau, wedding luau and birthday luau. Ms. Sweeney’s students certainly achieved this customary concept.
