Bridgeport High School International Fair Held Tuesday

By Julie Perine on November 20, 2025

Organized by the Bridgeport HIgh School Spanish and French departments, the BHS International Fair was held Tuesday evening, Nov. 18 at the high school cafeteria and classrooms. 
 
A dinner featuring entrees, appetizers, desserts and salads from various countries (dishes prepared by students and their family members) was enjoyed by attending students and families.
 
Providing music was the BHS Choir, performing a trio of songs with an International flare. They sang "Siyahamba,"  "Alastra," and "Carry the Light" the latter tune featuring soloist Brie Howell.
 
After dinner and entertainment, students who were making presentations about countries were dismissed. The remainder of the students were divided into groups and assigned a group guide. With "passports" to check off at each station, the groups visited the classrooms where presenters were stationed. Foreign language students had chosen countries which they have a special tie to or particularly interested them. They incorporated their various talents to make their assigned countries interesting to visitors. 
 
Also on hand was Pierpont Community & Technical College with information about potential majors and minors for students interested in foreign language or international communications. 
 
BHS Spanish teacher is Alicia Kidd and BHS French teacher is Madame Deanna Garrett. 
 
See photos in the gallery below and stay tuned for a second gallery coming to Connect-Bridgeport. Also see below the BHS Choir singing a portion of "Siyahamba."
