NHHS Shares the Joy of Piñatas! Student members of the National Hispanic Honor Society (NHHS) led an engaging cultural lesson for sixth-grade Spanish students, teaching them about the vibrant tradition of piñatas. The younger students had the opportunity to take a swing at full-sized, handmade piñatas crafted by NHHS members and even designed their own mini piñatas to take home. NHHS continues to fulfill its mission of promoting Hispanic culture and language throughout the school, community, and beyond.

🎉 This past spring, the National Hispanic Honor Society (NHHS) proudly hosted a vibrant Hispanic Cultural Performance! Over 800 students from local and out-of-state districts attended the celebration. NHHS members prepared homemade churros and served Jarritos as part of a fundraiser for their organization. Attendees were treated to professional performances that showcased music, dance, and other rich cultural art forms—creating an unforgettable, educational experience for all. 🇲🇽💃🎶

Fifth-grade students at FR Intermediate have been engaged in hydroponic gardening for the last two years, thanks to the Franklin Regional Panther Foundation. This year, they focused on propagating flowers for a super special secret project! “Tussie Mussies” are tiny arrangements of flowers whose colors hold special meaning. With guidance from members of the Murrysville Garden Club, students created the special bouquets using their homegrown flora. 💐 Once completed, students took a field trip to William Penn Care Center to personally deliver a bit of sunshine to senior residents. Not only did our students brighten their day, but they also enjoyed just sitting and chatting with residents about various topics. They left with empty hands but FULL HEARTS. 🥰 A very special thank you to the members of the Murrysville Garden Club for visiting and teaching our students how to create the “Tussie Mussies.” Pictured are Diana Sanner, Patty Ehalt, Diane Stypula, Sara Zacur, and Jackie Kozbelt. 😘
