Taste of Esparanza

Esperanza High School PTSA Student Leadership is hosting the First Annual Taste of Esperanza, September 27, 2008, 5:00-8:00 pm. at Esperanza High School. Come have a taste of the culinary feats from various local restaurants. Tickets will be available for purchase prior to and at the event. Each ticket will be for one sample of food.

This student organized event is in response to the significant  state and district budget cuts. All the clubs on campus have the opportunity to participate in order to help raise money for their club. Students are being proactive by doing something about this financial crisis.

As a community lets find a way to help these young adults  make a difference by attending this event, agreeing to sponsor a portion of the costs, donating gifts, and/or being a vendor.
