Last Wednesday night students, parents, and faculty members gathered to celebrate Latin American and Caribbean heritage. Guests tasted traditional foods while listening to a live musical performance by La Mixta Criolla. There was also a performance by Hamlin’s capoeira students and a student poetry reading.

Our PLAID parent group created Carnaval de Hamlin.

PLAID is a Hamlin Parent Association group focused on educating our community about diversity and promoting an inclusive environment. We seek to broaden perspectives and experiences via cultural events, dialogues and films, and deepen connections at Hamlin by fostering open dialogue and celebrating our commonalities and differences. 

Please join PLAID’s next event, a Middle East & North African Cultural Celebration on March 12.
