Interim President Ara Aguiar said she was pleased the school honored the holiday.
“I think it’s also another way to acknowledge all of our Latino students that maybe sometimes don’t have the opportunity to openly celebrate it,” Aguiar said. “And it’s safe to celebrate amongst each other. And it’s also a benefit for those students that want to learn more about other cultures. So I think it’s that exposure that makes it a very unique day for Pierce.”
