A bueno time will be had by all
Apr 11th
Students, family and alumni at Manhattan Middle School will soon be immersed in a simulated Hispanic Marketplace. Manhattan’s Spanish language arts program will create the marketplace, called Mercado Hispano, and will give those in attendance the opportunity to taste, see and hear Hispanic culture. Mercado Hispano will be presented from 6:30-8 p.m. on Friday, April 12 in the Manhattan Middle School cafeteria.
“It’s a simulated immersion experience,” said Susan Simonds, Spanish and Dance teacher at Manhattan. “The students are very excited.”
Simonds said the students have been studying 19 of the 21 Spanish-speaking countries. Two-to-three students will be dedicated to representing each country they studied at Mercado Hispano, and they’ll offer authentic food, drinks and crafts that they have produced themselves. The cafeteria will also be decorated to simulate each country. Entertainment will include a professional Flamenco dance and music performance.
This is the fourth year for Mercado Hispano, this year’s being the biggest thus far, with 76 students participating.
Families, alumni and media are all invited to attend.
