Students in one of the high school’s Spanish classes learned how to create various crafts originating from Hispanic countries, including cross stitching, papel picado, amate bark painting, mandalas and huichol yarn painting.
Students from all high school foreign languages also volunteered their time at Springfield’s CultureFest on Sept. 23, and Hayward Middle School will host a soccer tailgate and Hispanic Heritage Celebration on Oct. 11.
The district serves 7,300 students across 16 buildings, which includes 46% White, 27% Black, 15% Multiracial, 11% Hispanic and 1% Asian or Pacific Islander population.
Hispanic Heritage Month began Sept. 15 and will run through Oct. 15.
