¡Que Viva, La Gran Fiesta!

Last week, the Dalton community came together to celebrate Latino culture at La Gran Fiesta.
The event was filled with energy, flavor, and creativity, offering something for everyone to enjoy. Attendees sampled delicious Peruvian and Cuban cuisine, along with the beloved Tres Leches dessert.

Throughout the celebration, community members participated in hands-on activities such as decorating maracas and creating colorful carnival masks representing a variety of cultures. Guests also had the opportunity to take home meaningful keepsakes, including traditional Guatemalan worry dolls and vibrant flowers for their hair, commonly worn across many Latino countries.

A highlight of the event was a display of creative projects by 8th grade students, who documented and honored the immigration stories of Spanish-speaking members of our school community. These projects added a powerful and personal dimension to the celebration.

The festivities concluded with lively salsa lessons, bringing everyone together through music and dance.
