Food Festival Frame by frame

For the first time in Estancia history, a Food-Fest was hosted at lunch in the quad on January 16, 2026. Ella Smith reported her findings regarding what went down and whether it resonated with the students.

Throughout the photos we see students and teachers alike enjoying themselves at Estancia’s newfound Food-Fest. And in addition to the photos we have a quote from Ms. Figueroa telling us what she thought about the event.

“The Winter Food Festival was like a bustling foodie trip. There were clubs with their booths everywhere selling snacks and some food from different cultures: sweet, spicy, crunchy, and everything in between. There was music playing, students and staff were hanging out in the Student Courtyard enjoying the snacks/food being sold. The lines were long for the most popular booths, but that just made it more exciting, and by the end everyone seemed happy with the event." - Ms. Figueroa
