It is also an opportunity to learn about tribes and their cultures, and to raise awareness about the unique challenges Native people have faced and how they have worked to conquer these challenges. #CPSCelebrates

🌮Mrs. Wafford's 8th-grade classes were so lucky today to have the food truck, Spicy Latina, come to the school. Students had a fascinating tour of the inside of the food truck and got to ask questions to the gracious and kind owners about their business.
This will set them up perfectly for their unit on entrepreneurship and their food truck menu design project. A huge thank you to the wonderful owners (who also happen to be parents at HMS!) We are SO grateful that you came and shared your wisdom and advice with our budding future entrepreneurs!
