On Wednesday, October 6th students participated in International Walk to School Day with a Poster Parade around the A.C. Moore campus, followed by a dance break with the Bobcat. Walk to School day is a global event that involves communities from more than 40 countries walking and biking to school on the same day. It began in 1997 as a one-day event and now it has become part of a movement for year-round safe routes to school and a celebration each October.

Take a look at the pictures of our celebration and the dance break video.

This “Latin American” dance is said to have originated from Venezuela, and in 1882 was officially declared as the “national” dance. Furthermore, this dance style comprises of several elements belonging to “Fandango”.

Ceviche Peruano is a citrus-infused raw seafood dish popularized in Peru but found in many coastal areas of Latin America. The appetizer or main course consists of super fresh fish marinated in fresh lime juice and served with thinly sliced red onion and sweet potato. The normal process of cooking food by heating involves denaturing, which refers to the changing of the structure of the proteins in the food. Another way of denaturing a protein is to apply citric acid. Citrus juice acid essentially denatures raw fish or any raw seafood.

The Charrua were among a handful of First Nations who inhabited the territory that is now Uruguay when the Spanish arrived in the early 1500s. The colonial settlement came relatively late here, compared with the rest of the Americas and the historical record is limited. Some accounts say there were about 10,000 Charrua when the Spanish came, but their numbers fell fast after exposure to new diseases, as the Portuguese and then Brazilians successively claimed the region.
