“We were thrilled to celebrate Fiesta de Octubre with our community,” said Cristina Velasco, principal of Georgia Brown Dual Immersion. “Students had spent the last 4 weeks learning the rich history and cultural contributions of Hispanic countries across the globe. The festival provides a space to bring that learning to life.”
