On Tuesday Paseo sent students on their Annual 7th Grade Paseo Dual Language UrbanHike with Michelle Olivia Espinosa and Lisa Peña! Students analyzed the Latine influence on the Westside, a historically Latine barrio near KC’s Crossroads. They learned from community leader Rep. Crispin Rea, local elder Señora Irma of Cafe Ollama, and from community organizer Señor Jorge who stewards the community orchard called WestCAN. Students ended the journey by creating their own art to honor their muertos that will be displayed at the Nelson Atkin’s Dia de Muertos exhibit this November!
