INTERNATIONAL NIGHT

RUTH NGUYEN | TREASURER

On November 16th, Savanna collaborated with Magnolia High School to host an international night market in our quad. There were dance and music performances from a variety of cultures such as K-Pop and Mariachi. I loved how hyped everyone got, and it was very cool to see how all the performances formed a cohesive stage even though they were all very different. Clubs sold foods that represented different cultures such as boba, champurrado, ponche, and pozole. Key Club sold delicious little Arab pastries (courtesy of Hani!) called Samboosak. The pastry was similar to a quesadilla; it had an aromatic spice and mozzarella cheese filling, wrapped with a fried tortilla to create a warm bite-sized bundle of goodness :) At the event's peak, people were filling the quad and lining up to buy our delectable Samboosak. We got raving reviews, and people even came back for seconds and thirds! Everything got really hectic, as we had to make makeshift signs to advertise and negotiate with other clubs to break our larger bills for change. At the end of the night, we were almost sold out! For me, the most memorable part of the night was when everyone was watching Ratatouille, and I was playing games with my friends at our stand. It was a group effort by our board to effectively operate the stand, and I am very thankful that so many people were willing to help.
