Astoria High School hosts
Cultural Conversations
ASTORIA — The Astoria High School
Honors English 10 class is hosting Cultural
Conversations from 4-5:30 p.m. Thursday,
May 23, in the AHS Commons. The event
is a chance to connect community mem-
bers through their stories. Jenni Newton, who
started the event, was inspired by the program
“The Human Library.”
The students are hosting storytellers from
more than 20 different cultures. Tori Smith, a
host for a storyteller representing taekwondo,
said, “It’s a great chance to learn about other
cultures in a unique way.”
The speakers this year include a Kenyan, a
U.S. Coast Guard offi cer, an Hispanic immi-
grant and someone living with cancer. Azaria
Damghani, a student in the honors class says
she is, “most excited for being in one room
with so many different cultures.”
