Ridgewood High School students celebrated the Italian culture during the school’s eighth annual Festa Italiana, inviting family, and the community to take part in a ceremony honoring new Italian National Honor Society inductees.

The event hosted more than 400 attendees for an opening ceremony in the Norridge school’s auditorium, informing the crowd of everything Ridgewood’s Italian program has accomplished this semester. The students also played a video compilation of clips from their trip to Italy last year, and showcased student-made commercials featuring Italian products like San Pellegrino, and Barilla pasta.
