Korean BBQ - Sep 25, 2009

Rosslyn Academy has a number of students from Korea (about 14 % of the student body). Many are sons and daughters of missionaries that have been sent from Korea to Africa. Others are here living with relatives for the purpose of learning English. There are two Korean teachers on staff. Students (of all cultures) have the option of taking Korean language classes from Grade 6 onward.
[Photo]The Korean families are very grateful for the support offered to the Korean students and every year they provide a special meal to thank the teachers of Rosslyn. This Korean BBQ offers a very spicy kuchumbari (tomatoes and onions), kimbob (similar to Japanese sushi), fish sticks, zucchini pancakes, pumpkin noodles, and beef strips. Some teachers claim this is the best day of the school year.

We were very surprised to see Tim as one of the models! Along with the boys' swim coach, Suzanne, Tim displayed traditional Korean wedding attire. His pink pants were quite shocking, especially with his electric orange jacket.
