proposed that the MLL students write an international cookbook. Olson pointed out
that this project could also give us Health and Nutrition points at MUSC. We could
incorporate some of the restaurants in Charleston. Could be a “My family to yours”
concept. We need to sell this idea to several chefs and parents. Teachers can be given
tickets to give to their students who have gone above and beyond in the classroom. St.
Andrews said she would speak to a family member about restaurants. Sabrina Dagley
also has connections with Trident chefs. Students can work on cookbooks all year while
we prepare. Cultural food trucks are also a possibility (outside Teal Miller’s room).
Possibly have an event each month highlighting a different countries’ food.
ii. Proposed time: March 2024
iii. Place: Mini gym if admin approve

could do an event on “Day of the Dead.”
