SHS Hispanic Heritage Activity Alfredo Andrews School-October 8, 2026
The Spanish Honor Society (SHS), Chapter Zona de Español, of St. Croix Central High School visited the Alfredo Andrews Elementary School, on October 8, 2026. they had the opportunity to share an enriching cultural experience with their fourth, fifth, and sixth-grade students.
The SHS members spoke about the importance of Hispanic Heritage by sharing information about the culture, traditions, and customs of different Hispanic countries. They also facilitated a variety of arts and crafts activities that allowed the elementary students to explore and appreciate Hispanic culture through creativity, hands-on learning, and meaningful interaction.
This experience was an excellent academic and cultural opportunity for our Spanish Honor Society members. It allowed them to share their knowledge, strengthen their communication and leadership skills, interact with younger students, and develop valuable competencies in the liberal arts through cultural education and artistic expression. At the same time, the elementary students had the opportunity to expand their cultural awareness and learn about the richness and diversity of the Hispanic world in an engaging and enjoyable environment. Dr. Annette Garcia, SHS Advisor, expresses her admiration and sincere appreciation for the excellent work demonstrated by the members of the Spanish Honor Society (SHS) during their visit to Alfredo Andrews Elementary School. She proudly recognizes their dedication, enthusiasm, and commitment to sharing Hispanic culture with the students, faculty, and administration. Their outstanding efforts made this cultural outreach activity a meaningful and enriching experience for everyone involved.
