A 7th Grade Social Studies Class from James Denman Middle School is learning about the Americas. In their A.L.L. Class in the OMI/Excelsior Lower Garden, they learn about the contributions towards modern agriculture and foods that the native Aztec and Mayan Cultures made to modern life. Then the students made Guacamole, Salsa, and Mexican Hot Chocolate.
