Ninth grade students in Kylie Knauff’s Spanish class celebrated Cinco De Mayo on Tues. May 5. Everyone in the class was able to bring in their own foods, which had to fit the theme of Spanish. In class, students were able to take a break from learning, and relax with friends while listening to music and trying a different culture’s foods.
