On Thursday, May 26, International Night was hosted in the cafeteria, where attending students, faculty members and parents were able to enjoy dishes from foreign cultures and watch student performances. Select students were also recognized with awards from their language teachers for outstanding achievements in class, and those who brought in dishes earned extra credit. Throughout the evening several students also highlighted world cultures through their creative singing and dancing performances.

If you’ve ever run for any kind of leadership position, whether it’s to be class president for Student Coalition or to be co-captain of your varsity volleyball team, you know how hard it is. In most cases, all the candidates turn out to be overqualified for the job, making the decision even harder. This is a sentiment that will be echoed throughout the town this coming summer when the election for the Republican candidate for First Selectman is chosen.
