Viewpoint School’s Office of Diversity, Inclusion, and Community Life commemorated Hispanic Heritage Month with a school-wide celebration across all divisions, featuring traditional treats and activities, music, and opportunities to learn more about Hispanic culture. 

For Primary and Lower School, parent volunteers organized an engaging display outside Helfand’s Harvest. The festive tables were adorned with cultural items, flags, and posters, while students received small giveaways and enjoyed a curated playlist of energizing music.

Meanwhile, Middle School students enjoyed a lively performance by the Upper School Jazz Ensemble, alongside a trio of musicians playing Latin/Pop music influenced by Flamenco. The celebration featured traditional foods from various Latin American countries, provided by parent volunteers on Webster Patio, with churros from Kitchins’ Kitchen. Students also participated in a Lotería game, as well as a language and coloring activity led by Spanish teacher Christine Harnist.

In the Upper School, students embraced a variety of interactive activities, including a piñata event, karaoke, bracelet-making, and a Lotería competition. They also took part in a Flag Picture Name Game, where they matched flags with country names, adding an educational twist to the celebration.

These events fostered a deeper understanding and appreciation of Hispanic heritage while bringing the community together in celebration, reflecting Viewpoint’s commitment to honoring unity in diversity.
