In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, Mrs. Rhodes' class got to shake their maracas with Mrs. Pichardo. Mrs. Rhodes’ class learned about Mrs. Pichardo’s home country, Venezuela. Students enjoyed learning about Venezuelan culture, creating colorful maracas, and dancing to traditional Venezuelan music. It was a fun and meaningful way to celebrate and learn together!
Mrs. Argueta's class closed out Hispanic Heritage month with Mexican tortas and horchata. It was so awesome to see a former CP student working with her younger sister to make this experience PAWSible! We are so grateful for family support!
