Middle Schoolers Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month Through Food and Music

This year’s Middle School Latinx and Hispanic Heritage Month CAB was an event for the ages. Students learned about and celebrated Hispanic heritage through food, music, and dancing.
Ms. Allen’s Music Club kicked off the afternoon with a performance in the Big Room. Then, thanks to a collaboration with the LAHFA (Latin American & Hispanic Family Association), one group of students tasted cultural food like pupusas, churros, and cohinxas. At the same time, salsa instructor Lumyr Derisier from Salsa y Control dance studio brought interactive learning to the stage for the other group of homerooms. Both groups eventually tried the food and the dancing in a festive introduction to Hispanic culture to mark the month.
The Middle School will host many history month CABs throughout the year. After such an engaging start, there is much to look forward to in future assemblies.
