Jefferson School celebrate Hispanic Heritage with Beyond Mariachi

Through live music, dance, and storytelling, Mexico Beyond Mariachi came to Jefferson School to share the magical realism that is ever present in Mexican culture, igniting the students' imagination, leaving them with an enhanced awareness of our global community. This is the first of many cultural arts and enrichment programs planned for Jefferson Elementary School, and a great experience for the students to honor the Hispanic Heritage Celebration in tandem with the inaugural of !HolaFest! NJ.

Through Cultural Arts & Enrichment Programs, the Jefferson School PTA strives to bring a diverse offering of performing arts and educational enrichment to our school usually in the form of school assemblies. These PTA sponsored programs include the musical and dramatic arts; math, science and technology; global and domestic history and culture, physical education; language arts and appreciation of diversity.

This year’s theme is about "Global Citizenship | Preparing today's students to be tomorrow's global citizens."

The Jefferson School PTA fundraising efforts support the school by directly funding these assemblies and artists in residence, immersing students in a wide variety of arts and cultural experience, from extravagant, days-long celebrations featuring professional performances to art projects.
