Conclusion of Hispanic Heritage Month
Hispanic Heritage Month has finished and we celebrated here at PJHS!! Did you know that our school is 26% Hispanic Heritage ?! Our 9th Grade Peer Leadership class hosted a Fiesta Latino during both lunches on October 12th. They practiced hard to put together a dance performance called “Zapateado” with partner dancing and line dancing. The dancers proudly wore flags from Spanish-speaking countries while dancing! We decorated the gym, shared Mexican “dulces“ (candy), involved the crowd with dancing and piñatas, and had displays of flags and famous Hispanic-heritage figures.
