2025 Central America Celebration of Learning at Bruce Monroe @ Parkview Elementary

At a time when the need to teach about Central America is amplified by the dehumanizing policies of the federal government’s policies towards immigrant communities, Bruce Monroe @ Park View Elementary School continues to provide students with a deep exploration of students’ history, culture, and activism for justice.

This was evident in the 6th annual Teaching Central America Celebration, a showcase of their multi-week study of Central America. With more than 50% of their student body having ties to Central America, the unit of study reflected the school’s mission to provide culturally responsive teaching and equity-driven instruction.

During the celebration, October 23–24, 2025, student learning was displayed for their peers, family, and community. Visitors received maps and handouts that outlined the school’s units of student from early childhood through 5th grade.
