Celebrating Culture, Connection, and Community! 💃

Thank you to the Cultura LatinX Club from Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College (ABAC) for spending time with Mrs. Matthew's and Ms. Allen's ESOL students at ESMS. Our students loved the traditional dance, bingo, and crafting their own piñatas. The pizza and Capri Suns were a hit too! We appreciate your time and generosity. #4theT#CulturaLatinX
