One of the best parts about BPES is how diverse we are as a community. Since mid-September we have been focused on our families and friends who are of Hispanic heritage, celebrating them and expressing our gratitude. Join us on October 9th for Culture Festival in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month! Dinner from our partner Las Esperanzas Cafe will be provided, student presentations, cultural displays and more will be present that night. We are still looking for hosts to represent their home country as well. RSVP today and mark your calendars! You can scan the QR code to register.
