Tastes of the World Event Honors the Many Cultures of the NDP Community

Pupusas and horchata. Sushi and croissants. On Wednesday, October 28, the lunch blocks at Notre Dame Preparatory School became a trip around the world as Middle Level and Upper Level students gathered for this year’s Tastes of the World event.

Passports in hand, students moved from table to table, sampling dishes and beverages that represented a wide range of cultural traditions. Each stop offered more than a new flavor. It was a chance to learn about the heritage, customs, and stories behind the food, many of them drawn from the families and backgrounds that make up the NDP community.

The event was organized by NDP’s Diversity Council, Affinity Groups, and Culture Clubs, whose members prepared and hosted the tables. Their work turned a familiar part of the school day into an opportunity for curiosity, conversation, and connection.

A fan favorite each year, Tastes of the World reflects NDP’s commitment to celebrating the diversity of its community and the bonds that unite it. Whether students tried a dish for the first time or recognized a taste of home, the afternoon was a reminder that sharing a meal is one of the simplest ways to understand one another.
