Seneca Middle School marked Hispanic Heritage Month with an interactive program that explored cultural connections through music, literature, folklore, and storytelling. The event was led by the talented guest artist Felix Petrie, whose engaging performances kept students and staff captivated throughout the program.

Throughout the presentation, Petrie highlighted the roots and rhythms of Latin music, introduced brief readings and poetry by Hispanic authors, and brought folk tales to life with dynamic storytelling. Students learned how history, language, and the arts intersect, seeing firsthand how traditions are preserved and passed down through song and story.

Teachers noted that the program reinforced classroom learning across multiple subjects. The experience supported literacy through close listening and text excerpts, connected to social studies by tracing historical and regional influences. It also deepened appreciation for the performing arts through live demonstration and audience participation.

Seneca extends its thanks to Felix Petrie for his inspiring leadership and to the faculty and staff who helped coordinate the event. The celebration is part of the school’s observance of Hispanic Heritage Month (Sept. 15–Oct. 15) and its ongoing commitment to fostering cultural understanding and inclusive learning.
