Hawk Place enjoyed various activities last week for our own little Fiesta week. Students learned some fiesta dancing with Impulse, Central Lee's Dance Team, enjoyed tasty healthy banana splits with ISU Extension Kids in the Kitchen program, as well as preparing various flavored salsas at Elliott Test Kitchen. Two students from the high school Spanish classes visited and taught the children some Spanish. We finished the week with a RAK project stuffing 24 book bags for children in Mexico. (Thank you to all who sent book bags and school supplies to help with this project).
