Sound School AP Spanish students were tasked with studying the cuisines of specific regions of a chosen Hispanic culture and modeling a Food Truck and associated menu for their very own ‘Paraíso de Camiones’ like ‘Food Truck Paradise’ in neighboring Long Wharf. Represented cuisines are from regions in Cuba, Guatemala, Puerto Rico, Perú and Ecuador.

Make Monday Matter

What an incredible way to start the day yesterday! 🐝✨I had the absolute pleasure of being at the Barack Obama Magnet University School (BOMUS) this morning for their inaugural Spelling Bee.

Huge shoutout and thank you to the Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. for turning Principal Baker’s vision into reality for our students. But honestly? The absolute best part of the morning was watching the students cheer on their classmates and congratulate the winner. That’s what community is all about! 💙

Pastor Scott Marks spoke with young fathers at the Dr. Mayo Early Childhood Center about the importance of their role, not only in their children's lives, but in their community. #NHPS
