International food fair*
Fri, May 24, All day
Our school´s most spectacular social event of the year is coming up on Friday 24th May!
BFIS International Food Fair 2013 6-9pm
Tickets: Adults – 15e, Middle/High school- 10e, Elementary- 5e, Under 5 –Free
For people unfamiliar with this concept, imagine 30 different countries hosting a table at one fabulous restaurant – for one night only! You can perform a Gastro Tour of the World in just three hours!
Food Fair is the PTA´s only fundraiser of the year. Ticket sales from this spectacular event enable us to run all the PTA school community events of the year ie, New Parents BBQ, Welcome Coffee, Holiday Concert, Pancake Day, Frosty Friday, Sant Jordi, Carnival and more!
Here´s how it works:
· Select your Country Captain! The captain help guide the menu, organize & motivate the team. Email the PTA by Fri 26 April with the name of your captain and the team will receive more information from them shortly.
· Food Volunteers If you don’t want to be the captain, support your country by being on the team and bringing in some gastro treats on the night. Portion guidelines? Plan to cook for approximately 10-12 people.
· Are you a country with small number of volunteers? Still take part! You can showcase one special menu item.
· Students interested in performing on the night? See Ben Torbush for audition details.
We cant run this special night without the support of the wonderful BFIS community & friends. The buzz around this event is infectious – we already have country´s signing up!
So save the date & a plate - see you on the Fri 24th May!

International Food Fair 2013
Fri, May 24, 6:00 PM EET
The 2013 BFIS International Food Fair
From 6-9pm
Tickets: Adults: 15€; Middle/High school: 10€; Elementary-:5€; Under 5 –Free
For people unfamiliar with this type of event, imagine 25 different countries each hosting a table at one fabulous restaurant – for one night only! You can do a Gastro Tour of the World in just three hours!
Food Fair is the PTA´s only fundraiser of the year. Ticket sales from this spectacular event enable us to run all the PTA school community events of the year (i.e., New Parents’ BBQ, Welcome Coffee, Holiday Concert, Pancake Day, Frosty Friday) and to support a number of initiatives such as Jump Rope for Heart, ES Field Day, the annual bookmark competition, Sant Jordi, the 3C’s Awards in Middle School or the MS Lunchtime soccer tournament, among others.
Here´s how it works:
· Select your Country Captain! The captains help guide the menu, organize & motivate the team.
· Help your Country Captain! In previous years, the PTA has given the country captains a list of all the parents from that nationality and the country captain would get in touch with the parents. This year due to Data Protection Laws we're not allowed to give out any contact information, for that reason we will be sharing the Country Captain e-mail through the room parent network inviting parents who want to help their country to get in touch with their country captains.
· Food Volunteers: If you don’t want to be the captain, support your country by being on the team and bringing in some gastro treats on the night of the event. Portion guidelines? Plan to cook for approximately 10-12 people.
· Are you a country with small number of volunteers? Still take part! You can showcase one special menu item.
· Students interested in performing on the night? Please contact Mr. Torbush for audition details.
We cannot run this special night without the support of the wonderful BFIS community & friends. The buzz around this event is infectious – we already have countries signing up!
