A Great Epiphany…

As the Christmas season closes with Epiphany, Profesora Nilda Rivera’s Spanish classes celebrated… Puerto Rican-style. On Thursday students put out boxes filled with grass to feed the Wise Men’s camels in honor of Día de los Reyes Magos, or Three Kings Day. Upon returning to class Friday, they discovered small toys and candy gifted in exchange. Sharing this tradition from home, Profesora Rivera could not help but infuse it with a little local flavor — students also enjoyed king cake, the New Orleans way. Pictured here, freshman Stewart Talbot shows Profesora Rivera the gifts of candy the Wise Men left for him and his deskmate, Peter Vernaci.
