Orr Elementary School kicked off Hispanic Heritage Month with an early morning celebration that had the entire school, students, staff, and families, buzzing with excitement!
Teachers and administrators spent countless hours leading up to Hispanic Heritage Month to bring alive the culture of the community through upbeat music, dance, historical facts, and so much fun, fun, FUN!
The cafeteria was packed, and the excitement built as the audience took out their phones, ready to record videos and take pictures of their children participating in the show.
The festive program began with two student emcees sharing interesting facts and information about the Hispanic culture. Then the music started, and the children danced. They were dressed in bright, colorful clothing and joined by their young musician classmates who enjoyed seeing their friends while performing.
The audience loved the parade of flags. Many different Hispanic countries were represented from all over the world. The students carried the flags proudly and joyfully. As they walked by row after row, the giant audience of onlookers supported them as they clapped and cheered loudly.
The teachers enjoyed being together and sharing their heritage with everyone in attendance.
Principal Nathan Harbor and Dean of Students Ms. Khalatbari expressed their heartfelt thanks to the staff, students, and community for their incredible support, recognizing the dedication it took to create such a successful celebration. The morning was a beautiful reflection of heritage and togetherness.
