Students had a great time learning about the history, culture, and pride that these traditions represent.

Hoy, nuestros estudiantes de la escuela secundaria recibieron con mucho entusiasmo a la Corte de la Fiesta de Santa Fe. 👑💃 Nos deleitaron con bailes tradicionales y compartieron el significado de nuestras queridas Fiestas de Santa Fe. ¡Nuestros estudiantes disfrutaron aprendiendo sobre esta hermosa tradición llena de historia, cultura y orgullo!

¡Gracias a la Corte de la Fiesta por inspirar a nuestras futuras generaciones!
