I honestly cannot believe how many of you stepped up to keep this tradition alive because it feels like the whole school is suddenly talking about what we are going to serve at Gupot Chamorro now. My phone keeps buzzing with notifications and I keep thinking about all those potlucks we had growing up where the food was the best part of the whole celebration.

I don't see why it has become an issue.. This is a tradition on Guam since I was in middle school and that's since the 90's.. If the patent don't want their child to join then that's fine. . They should put then in the Caf.. DOE do something about this!
its one day of the year that we are allowed to eat Chamorro dishes and you are taking that away from us? If you are afraid of food poisoning , why don't you just inspect the dishes yourselves? Let us have just that one day !
What is the use of having a REQUIRED chamorro class if we can't experience the life of the Chamorros by cooking the type of foods they eat . It's ONE day of the year we have to experience with our school and to have that time to reflect back on our chamorro people And now you took it away ! It makes no sense at all .
leave the traditions alone and stop trying to kill off the culture. when i was in school on Guam chamorro week was festivities celebrating the chamorro culture and gupot chamorro was always held on the last day. where the entire student body brings one traditional dish of some kind and enjoy eating together. smh what is going on Guam. some one in office has a few screws loose.
Guppy Chamorro is a great incentive to the student who have looked forward to this event all year. There has never been a serious issue of food poisoning in the past. I understand that this is a cautionary measure to ensure no one becomes liable for a mishap. However, this takes a way from the entire essence of guppy chamorro. It is an insult to the Chamorro culture to have a cafeteria cater to a traditional Chamorro fiesta, party, or gathering.
We can't stop the tradition, sign the petition.
we only have this event once a year, so we might as well celebrate it like its suppose to be... with food,local food, chamorro food

Theres no point of GupotChamorro if there's no Gupot. Fiesta is life on Guam. probably the biggest tradition, and yet, they're trying to hold it against us.
