A Hispanic club from Monnett will do traditional dances at 11 a.m.
Prizes will be awarded to winning students participating in the piñata hitting and burrito eating contest.
Free food will be provided at the Fiesta Latina. It will be held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sept. 26 on the Burnidge Memorial Forum.
