💃🌎 A wonderful way to wrap up Hispanic Heritage Month!
On Friday, October 16, Grafton High School welcomed approximately 300 students to our auditorium for two Hispanic Flamenco Ballet shows! Students from Taylor County Middle School and Notre Dame High School joined our GHS students for this special cultural experience.
The performances brought Hispanic cultures to life through music and dances from Colombia, Mexico, Argentina, and Spain, along with songs such as “La Llorona.” 🎶
It was a wonderful opportunity for students to experience the cultures we explore in the classroom and celebrate through music and dance!
Thank you to the performers, visiting schools, teachers, and staff who helped make this experience possible! ❤️👏
