This year, we will celebrate FOA\u2019s cultural richness by creating an international\u00a0cookbook. We are asking all FOA families and friends to participate by contributing their favorite recipes. The cookbooks will be available for purchase before the holidays and would make a wonderful present for family and friends. Please contact the school for details on how to submit a recipe or how to purchase a cookbook.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7935 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/foastatic.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/Internationalteagroupwflags-e1537195293315.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"610\" height=\"295\" srcset=\"http:\/\/foastatic.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/Internationalteagroupwflags-e1537195293315.jpg 2203w, http:\/\/foastatic.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/Internationalteagroupwflags-e1537195293315-270x131.jpg 270w, http:\/\/foastatic.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/Internationalteagroupwflags-e1537195293315-768x371.jpg 768w, http:\/\/foastatic.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/Internationalteagroupwflags-e1537195293315-540x261.jpg 540w, http:\/\/foastatic.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/Internationalteagroupwflags-e1537195293315-200x97.jpg 200w, http:\/\/foastatic.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/Internationalteagroupwflags-e1537195293315-125x60.jpg 125w, http:\/\/foastatic.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/Internationalteagroupwflags-e1537195293315-60x29.jpg 60w, http:\/\/foastatic.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/Internationalteagroupwflags-e1537195293315-85x41.jpg 85w, http:\/\/foastatic.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/Internationalteagroupwflags-e1537195293315-80x39.jpg 80w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 610px) 100vw, 610px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Thank you to our 2018-2019 Title Partners for their support of our community events and especially Monica Parkkonen of Monica Parkkonen Photography for taking these beautiful pictures\u00a0for us to remember\u00a0this special day.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7939 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/foastatic.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/sponosr-tag-2018-stacked-no-text.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"683\" height=\"215\" srcset=\"http:\/\/foastatic.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/sponosr-tag-2018-stacked-no-text.jpg 3300w, http:\/\/foastatic.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/sponosr-tag-2018-stacked-no-text-270x85.jpg 270w, http:\/\/foastatic.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/sponosr-tag-2018-stacked-no-text-768x242.jpg 768w, http:\/\/foastatic.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/sponosr-tag-2018-stacked-no-text-540x170.jpg 540w, http:\/\/foastatic.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/sponosr-tag-2018-stacked-no-text-200x63.jpg 200w, http:\/\/foastatic.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/sponosr-tag-2018-stacked-no-text-125x39.jpg 125w, http:\/\/foastatic.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/sponosr-tag-2018-stacked-no-text-60x19.jpg 60w, http:\/\/foastatic.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/sponosr-tag-2018-stacked-no-text-85x27.jpg 85w, http:\/\/foastatic.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/sponosr-tag-2018-stacked-no-text-80x25.jpg 80w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every year at our\u00a0International\u00a0Tea\u00a0we celebrate the unique cultural differences and backgrounds we have at Five Oaks Academy (FOA).
