Cultural exchange at Pathways celebrated Latinx culture

Pathways Multilingual students hosted a vibrant cultural exchange in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month. Ms. Maria, the grandmother of student Michelle, contributed a delicious traditional holiday dish—Frijoles Charros. Family Outreach Liaison Viviane shared Coquito, a festive Puerto Rican drink, while Daniela, a classroom student, brought ChocoFlan, a beloved Mexican dessert. The event was an eclectic and inclusive potluck, highlighting the rich diversity of Latinx culture at Pathways Future Center. To cap off the celebration, Alejandro impressed everyone with his musical talents, singing and playing acoustic guitar. What began as a classroom activity quickly expanded to welcome all Pathways’ students and staff who wanted to join.
