Thanks to your generosity, students held three cultural food experiences for students at our school. Between all of the events over one hundred and fifty students and faculty had the opportunity to taste foods they never had before. For one of the events, each student created a 3D topographical map of a country they researched. They created a combined recipe book with one recipe from each culture. They made presentations about the visible and invisible aspects of the culture of people in that country. Students exhibited their 3D maps, their slide deck presentations, and created quizzes for attendees to take after they presented. These are some quotes from students:\r\n\r\n\"I was afraid to try food from other places. I want to try other foods and try to cook them too.\"\r\n\r\n\"I didn't think I would want to go see that country. I hope I get to go there someday.\"\r\n\"I've never lived anywhere else, I want to travel and taste everything.\"\r\n\r\nIt is my sincere hope you hold in your heart the wonderful impact your contribution made for my students' lives.","fullyFundedDate":1724853153140,"projectUrl":"project/cultural-awareness-and-humility/8571219/","projectTitle":"Cultural Awareness and Humility","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. D","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9620968_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1722605192504","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-d-ell-teacher"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_103033","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":155,"numTeachers":14,"percentFrplEligible":77,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":82,"percentWhite":4,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":9,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"8 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"11.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":41.5,"schoolId":103033,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about The NET Charter High School - Central City on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"The NET Charter High School - Central City","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/louisiana/orleans-parish-school-district/net-charter-high-school/103033"}
