Happy Hispanic Heritage Month!
September 15th – October 15th, CalPac and the rest of the nation celebrated Hispanic Heritage Month! This time recognized and honored the diverse histories and backgrounds of members of the hispanic community. California Pacific Charter Schools is proud to have a strong presence of hispanic representation both among our student body and our faculty.
Earlier this month, we shared Three Ways to Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, and we thought we would close with one more way to celebrate – preparing and sharing a meal!
Food is a central part of hispanic culture – the preparation and consumption of recipes passed down from generation to generation is an event centered in creating community.
As we wrap up celebrations of Hispanic Heritage month, we encourage you to gather with your community – whether that is your family or friends – and follow along with the Chile’ Relleno recipe below! We’d like to say a big thank you to our middle school student who shared this piece of their culture with us!
