There was a big celebration for Mexico's Independence Day on September 15 at the high school. There were tons of food boths and they had a show featuring the local high school students. It was a cool cultural experience. Mexico has some really fun dances. In this dance, the girls waved their pretty white dresses all around. No worries though, they all had shorts on underneath.
This was a group of 20 or so guitars and a bassist. They all played together at the same time and sang. It was definitely my favorite part of the evening. They did two or three songs.
These girls managed to dance and balance a candle on their head. I've tried this numerous times since ;) and it is not easy.
What would Independence Day be without red, green, and white? These are three of my students.
The Elementary School did a bake sale. I helped make caramel apples, rice krispie treats, and cookies. The school also had Navajo tacos, freshly made apple juice, hot dogs, brisket. etc. It was so yummy and they made almost $2,000Next year, who is down with celebrating Mexican Independence? We can sing the anthem, do some fireworks, rent a mariache band, etc Check yes or no.
