Latino Family Literacy Night

Back in high school I used to help with a lovely program in my town called Latino Family Literacy Night. We would read bilingual books with parents and then encourage them to take them home to read with their kids. Childcare was provided and everyone brought delicious food to share. The parents loved it because they could keep Spanish literacy in the home in addition to practicing/improving their English. Ah, nice memories from H.S. I feel so different from where I was at when I was 17, but I also feel very similar to how I was at my very core. Anyways, these little half Mexican half Colombian cutie pie sisters stole my heart every week when we would finish with the parents and join for food.
