Empathy Eats: 700 Miles Apart, N4 Field Exchange Students Share Thanksgiving Dishes
‘Tis the season! Our Field Exchange students from University Heights High School (UHHS) in the Bronx, NY and Floyd Central High School (FCHS) in Langley, KY stepped into their Shared_Studios portals to share their favorite Thanksgiving dishes and spread some holiday cheer.
Speaking about the ongoing partnership, FCHS teacher Mary Slone said, “It really teaches our young people to embrace what makes them unique but also not build a tower about what makes you unique. Let’s make a bridge.”
WYMT in Floyd County was there to capture the festivities, watch the video and read more about the exchange at WYMT.com.
