CMS Hosts  The Longest Table  Event Wednesday, March 11 6-8 p.m. Bring and share a meal with your family and the CMS community The Longest Table is an event that seeks to bring together members of the North Allegheny community around food – specifically time-honored, family heirloom recipes, to honor their specific cultures. As organizers, we hope to use the food as a vehicle for authentic conversations where people can appreciate, understand, and value cultures other than their own. We are inviting students from Carson Middle School (currently), along with their families (and even grandparents) to sit at – quite literally – a really long table, in order to embody the idea of inclusive conversation.
