This morning, the PTO Multicultural Committee showcased a celebration of Mexican culture featuring Gloria Contreras. Gloria is a local artist who is known for showcasing her Alebrijes throughout events in the Chicagoland area. Alebrijes are brightly colored Mexican folk art sculptures of fantastical creatures. She presented her designs before school in the halls and outside to the students of Western Avenue. Our PTO Multicultural Committee seeks to expand cultural awareness throughout the school year with other monthly cultural showcases.
