During a recent government meeting, educators showcased an innovative project celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month, highlighting the importance of cultural awareness and community engagement in schools. Mr. Bozner emphasized the district's commitment to data-informed practices aimed at supporting all students, particularly those requiring additional assistance through the Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) and professional learning communities.

The spotlight of the meeting was a \"Living Wax Museum\" project led by Senora Cruz and her combined fourth and fifth-grade class. Students portrayed notable Hispanic figures, including Carlos Santana, Picasso, Shakira, Sonia Sotomayor, and Ellen Ochoa, demonstrating their fluency in both English and Spanish. The event not only showcased the students' creativity and hard work but also served as a platform for parents and teachers to celebrate their contributions to the students' education.

The interactive presentation allowed board members to engage with the students, who enthusiastically shared their knowledge about the figures they represented. The event concluded with a recognition of the students' efforts and the support from their families and educators, reinforcing the community's role in fostering a rich learning environment.
