“There’s such an amazing and beautiful culture that has been formed here, not just in our school system, but in our state and everywhere else.'
A high school auditorium erupted with cheers as a group of older and younger students converged on the stage, melding a mix of Latin American art forms in a Carnival-style dance called “Los Chinelos.”
“There’s such an amazing and beautiful culture that has been formed here, not just in our school system, but in our state and everywhere else,” Santos said. “And our goal is to persuade and encourage everyone else to see what’s out there as well.”The annual event started in 2019 after a suggestion from Spanish-speaking staff, including Edmund Martinez, who wanted to come up with a way to celebrate students and the growing diversity of the school.
One by one, Santos guided his peers onto the stage as they read about various folk, Indigenous and contemporary dance styles, songs and customs from different countries and cultures. “It was a group effort,” said Mayfield, a veteran teacher, as she looked toward Lopez, the new aide, and Edmund Martinez. “Without them, we couldn’t have done it.”Lopez, still sporting orange glittery eyeshadow, headed downstairs to help Perez Todd with her sheltered English class, which is a core class tailored for English language learners.
Upstairs, Spanish teacher Alma Martínez helped translate the English instructions on an assignment for a student. She has seven English language learners in the class of 22, she said, and she is able to use her bilingual background to help smooth over gaps some may face as they get used to a primarily English-speaking academic environment.
