Celebremos El Mes de la Herencia Latina & Hispana
¡Vamos a comer! FAve continues our celebration of Latino and Hispanic Heritage with the Annual FAve Flavors. This event will be Wednesday, September 18, 2024. In honor of the many unique cultures and cuisines of Latin America and Spain, we would like to offer students a small taste of Latino & Spanish flavors. Students will also experience a dance performance from Calo Gitano on October 2.
We are looking for support from F.AVE families to help make this event a big success. If you have culinary skills and an interest in sharing your favorite Latino and Spanish=inspired recipes with our students, we would love for any family to participate! Feel free to pair up with a friend, too. We would recommend simple savory and sweet bites similar to dishes such as Dominican dulce de leche, Puerto Rican plantains, Peruvian bean and cheese pupusas, Venezuelan corn arepas, Mexican churros or conchas, Cuban arroz con frijoles, Uruguayan chajá, and agua fresca. Please no chips and salsa or tacos. We are excited to have our families help build F.AVE's tradition of celebrating our students and community ALL YEAR LONG!
