Taking it back to our roots -- one week at a time
(10/26/16 1:00pm)
Multi-colored flags and vibrant flowers filled the hallways at Detroit Cristo Rey High School to celebrate the school’s first Latino/a heritage week. Students started every day with a biography or a quote from a famous person from the Latino/a community. Throughout the week, students participated in different activities to learn about the heritage. Monday they were introduced to the culture; Tuesday they could buy tacos at lunchtime; Wednesday they had a chance to wear anything representing the culture from soccer jerseys to dresses; Thursday they learned dances styles, from bachata to banda; and Friday they could join in the student commons for live performances from musicians in their own school.
