City of Everett hosts Canciones Y Comida event

Everett Adult Learning Center

Everett Adult Learning Center offering English as a Second Language classes

 

  The City of Everett recently hosted the annual Canciones Y Comida (songs and food) event at the Everett Recreation Center to kick off the Cultural Immersion classes of the Everett Adult Learning Center (EALC). Attendees had the opportunity to “Learn Through Uniting” through Hispanic food and music. There was plenty of Cuban, Dominican and Colombian food throughout the celebration and performances from Adriana Herrera, Daniel Torres, DJ Chocolate, DJ Rico Suave and Primo Simon. The event brought the Everett community from many different backgrounds together to learn more about Hispanic culture, sing, dance, eat and, most importantly, have fun.

  The EALC is offering English as a Second Language classes to residents. For more information, please contact Catarina Patterson at 617-394-2318 or visit the Connolly Center (90 Chelsea St., Everett).
