Fusion To Host ‘Hispanic Heritage Show’

This next Wednesday, Ferguson will be hosting its annual Hispanic Heritage Show, an event meant to honor and highlight Hispanic culture while giving the audience a fantastic performance. Falcons should expect multiple dynamic and telling performances, including some from Fusion and fellow peers!

The show is part of Ferguson’s Hispanic Heritage Month celebration, which is acknowledged from September 15th to October 15th. It is dedicated to honoring the positive influence Hispanic-Americans have had on the US.

It is well known that a lot of Ferguson’s students are immigrants from South America, and the vastly different environment that is found in Florida might have them caught between their Hispanic roots and their American surroundings, so it is important for them to reconnect with their origins and what makes them unique.

“It could show more about their culture and things they didn’t know before, maybe about their families,” said Ornella Donat, a senior.

It’s worth mentioning how the show can also serve to enrich people’s knowledge of Hispanic culture, besides just reinforcing it. The Hispanic Heritage Show displays and introduces food from many different backgrounds, uniting everyone to share and experience culture.

“[Their] food—it’s all good,” says Jaret Gayoso, a 12th grader.

It is highly recommended that you stop by to give your support to Fusion and all the people who worked hard to form such a great event. We hope to see you there!
