Celebrate Latin American Culture at Fort River

Catalina Arrubla is organizing a display of items from Latin America in the Fort River school lobby. She would like to invite families to share some items that represent their culture. For example: Catalina has a flute from Ecuador, a Llama from Peru, some molas and a beautiful book with pictures from all over Latin America. We will be using the glass display at the entrance next to the art room. She would like families to bring in items by Tuesday. They will be displayed for 1 to 2 weeks. Contact Catalina at carrubla@gmail.com.
