Summary
Crossroads School marked Hispanic and Latino Culture Month with its third annual Latino Festival featuring food, interactive stations and student performances.
Crossroads School hosted its third annual Latino Festival as part of Hispanic and Latino Culture Month, bringing students, parents and community members together to celebrate Latino cultures.
Organizers said the festival is part of an integrated educational plan to develop knowledge and understanding of Latino culture within the school community. Attendees sampled traditional cuisine and visited interactive stations that showcased aspects of Latino art, music and identity.
A staff member described classroom preparation leading up to the event: “We have been studying various components of Latino culture such as art during the students' art classes and music. . . it’s really giving a voice and really amplifying and celebrating the voices of our Latino students and families,” the speaker said.
The festival was intended to let students share their experiences and identities with peers while giving the wider school community a chance to learn about Latino cultures.
The transcript does not record any formal district or board actions associated with the festival; it was presented as a community and classroom event.
