The East Chapel Hill High School Latin Dancers helped McDougle Elementary School celebrate its annual Hispanic Heritage Month by performing traditional Latin dances in the school’s hallways as families walk to school.
Each year, McDougle’s hallways fill with staff, students and families eager to watch the dance group perform. The group is led by Karen Galassi-Ferrer, a teacher at ECHHS.
The celebration, which will continue through Saturday, includes events such as cultural-art displays, a celebration of Spanish cuisine from families and a reading event highlighting Spanish books and community members.
