Middle School Celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month
The WFS middle school concluded its celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month last week with an educational and interactive performance by Los Bomberos de la Calle.
The group uses its music and Puerto Rican heritage to tell the story of music and its role in connecting cultures, sharing histories, and uniting people. Throughout the month, middle school students participated in advisory-based activities, including a display in the MS/US Gallery of traditional Hispanic and Latin artifacts, hanging festive flags through the middle school hallways, and eighth graders participated in salsa dancing lessons!
