Paris Independent School District recently held a program in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month. Students from Bilingual and English as a Second Language (ESL) classes took center stage, showcasing their talents through spirited dances while adorned in traditional attire, a testament to the rich cultural heritage they were there to honor.
An essential part of the program was the involvement of art students from Crockett Intermediate and Paris Junior High, who transformed the auditorium and foyer with their creative decorations. Art teacher Aaryn Honeywood expressed pride in her students' contributions, noting, “My students always enjoy being a part of the Hispanic Heritage Program. This is the third year for my students to decorate the auditorium, and it is always an honor to participate.”
The event was a great success, and it provided a platform for students to express themselves and learn about the importance of diversity and inclusion. It also served as a reminder of the valuable contributions that Hispanic Americans have made to our society and the need to continue celebrating their legacy.
