Students Celebrate their Heritage with the Second Annual Latino Forum

The Latina Club organized the Second Annual Latino Forum on April 16 in the Middle School.  The half-day conference featured speakers, workshops and entertainment for students in the SMA community.  Keynote speaker Adam Roybal, who is the Co-Director for the Post-Secondary program at Colorado UpLift, spoke about the importance of helping young people build life-changing relationships.  Students also attended workshops that included reflections on confidence, social issues through hip-hop and expression through graffiti.  The day ended with a poetry slam and a break dance performance.
