HENDERSONVILLE — With the start of National Hispanic Heritage Month on Sept. 15, students at Immaculata Catholic School in Hendersonville are taking the opportunity to celebrate different cultures and deepen their learning on virtues.
To celebrate, students made silletas, elaborate flower arrangements that represent the centerpiece of a festival in Colombia.
Each of Spanish teacher Mariana Angel’s assignments represent a specific virtue.

CHARLOTTE — St. Gabriel teacher Tracey Noonan’s class had a chance to sample the fare and learn about Venezuela with Lucy Bustos, the parent of a St. Gabriel student. Bustos read a Venezuelan book and gave the students snacks from her home country.
The students are celebrating the diversity of the class by learning more about the families who embrace the cultures of their ancestors.
