Balmville Scholars Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month


Students in Ms. Rayford, Mrs. Calman, and Ms. Perilli's classes celebrated Hispanic Heritage Month with a variety of engaging activities. Students learned about notable figures of Hispanic descent, focusing on the life and work of Frida Kahlo. To honor her legacy, students created portraits of Kahlo adorned with her signature flowers and wrote informative pieces about her. The learning experience continued with read-alouds in both English and Spanish. Former NECSD teacher Mrs. Tirado taught the students traditional dances, and they enjoyed a tasting of arroz con gandules. After reading "The Perfect Piñata/La Perfecta Piñata," students had the chance to break a piñata for treats. They also participated in an arts and crafts activity, making paper cup piñatas. A special thank you to Mrs. Calman, Mrs. Tirado, Ms. Perilli, Mr. Wallingford, and Ms. Kotich for making this celebration memorable for the students.
