Hispanic heritage FIESTA

What a wonderful evening celebrating Hispanic Heritage with our school community! If you missed it, check out the video here. 

 

A very special thank you to all volunteers who donated and helped, and to the families who cooked, researched, decorated, and more for their grade's booth. An event like this doesn't happen without your commitment and participation! We hope you learned a little bit about our featured hispanic countries while enjoying the music, performances, crafts and delicious food.

At the Event​

 

Food Options

Parent volunteers from each grade will be preparing tapas typically found in their featured country. The Sabores Latinos passport card will allow you to try one tapa from each country. Only 180 passport cards will be sold. Pizza, elote, chips, churros, cotton candy, kettle corn, and drinks will be available for purchase.  ***Please keep in mind that the servings from each country are tapas (finger food), so they will not be large portions. We recommend anywhere from 1-3 passports per family.
