INDEPENDENCE DAY CELEBRATION

As part of the festivities for our Independence Day Celebration on Tuesday, September 13th, we will be having a Pot Luck Snack on Tuesday.  We are asking each child to bring a typical Honduran breakfast/ snack food to share with his/her classmates. Please bring enough for 15 students and send this with your child in the morning as you drop them off.  Do not bring a snack or lunch since we will be eating our Honduran typical food on this day!!
We are also encouraging children to wear “Honduran” clothes on Tuesday. This may be a typical Honduran outfit (traje tipico), the National Soccer team sports outfit, any creative dress up that is representative of Honduras, or simply blue and white clothes.
