Some
students from the North Metro Academy of Performing Arts in Norcross took to
the stage recently to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month. The 4th and
5th grade students sang and performed for nearly 100 people at
the 2019 Gwinnett County Hispanic Heritage Month Recognition and Reception. The
annual event recognizes and honors the contributions of the county’s Latino
community and is in line with north metro Atlanta’s focus on inclusion and
celebration of diversity.
North Metro Academy of Performing Arts Diversity also embraces diversity. This year, the number of Hispanic students who enrolled at the school has doubled, and students at the school have learned about several different Hispanic cultures, their differences, their similarities and how to respect and honor them all.
