TOF

The first Taste of Falk event at the Roosevelt campus was a huge success! Mullen and Roosevelt students and their families came together to celebrate culture, community and cuisine by submitting recipes for the Falk Family Recipe Book. Every attendee received a cookbook, sampled delicious staff-prepared dishes and participated in a passport activity for a chance to win raffle prizes. A variety of activities were available including sno-cones, crafts, a photo booth, face painting and temporary tattoos. 

Staff members received so many heartwarming comments from families who appreciated the eventโ€™s encouragement of trying new foods and its focus on cultural inclusion. Many shared how much their children felt seen and included at Falk. One family even honored their childโ€™s late grandfather by submitting two cherished family recipes.

A heartfelt thank you to our wonderful vendors:

  • Child and Family Services

  • SNAP-Ed New York

  • Big Brother Big Sister of Erie, Niagara & Southern Tier

  • Buffalo and Erie County Public Library

And a big shoutout to Ms. Laurie, Ms. Ricks and the Elementary DEI Committee for their incredible planning and organization. Your dedication truly brought the spirit of community to life.

Weโ€™re already looking forward to more events that bring our Falk family together!
