Well...sort of ! Patricia here, and today was a special fiesta celebration for Sophia's Spanish class. Her teacher arranged for the students to experience "lunch in a Mexican school." The kids were expected to dress in the familiar white shirt/tie/blue pants uniform of Mexican Schools. A separate area of the dining hall was decorated with red/green/white table clothes and a traditional lunch menu including quesadillas, Mexican black bean and corn salad, brown rice, tropical fruit salad and "Tres Leches" Cupcakes was featured. I was happy to be able to volunteer to set up, serve and clean up after the event. It was a treat to see Sophia and all her classmates enjoying the buffet, each other and even their teacher (who is the adult in this picture) during the fiesta....which I am told was followed by the traditional Mexican "siesta" in the empty auditorium! There are so few opportunities to visit the classroom in middle school, so I am grateful to have been "chosen" as one of the volunteers who were privileged to spend couple of fun hours in Mexico!
