Mrs. Swalley's social studies classes recognized Hispanic Heritage month. We have been learning about how Spaniards came to North America and conquered Mayans, Incas, and Aztecs, who were Indigenous to this country since 300 AD and they already had advanced civilizations, cities, pyramids, water and sewage systems, far from the savage image portrayed. And this history is very much a part of Hispanic culture. Along with this history we also learned the importance of Hispanic heritage in our society. We celebrated the gifts they have given our society such as music, and the favorite part of all, for the students (all of us!) ,🤗 is the FOOD. Our Native History class enjoyed pozole. It is a traditional ceremonial soup of pre-hispanic origins in Aztec cultures. All students had the chance to enjoy a sweet cake dessert, tres leches, which translates to three milks. Our classes also learned about candy skulls and many different hispanic countries, such as Cuba, Colombia, Puerto Rico and re-created their flags.

Our high school Native History class is earning college credit through NICC’s Food Preservation course! 🍎✨ Today, students learned how to dry apples and try out fun seasonings—including strawberry Jello! They used a Mandalay cutter with protective gloves and each received their very own drying rack, generously provided by NICC. A special thank you to Diane LaPointe for donating apples from her tree—your gift created a wonderful community connection between education and tradition. Pidamiyaye, Diane! 🙏❤️
