It's almost cinco de mayo day. Since the school is about 93% mexican and the area is mexican town, it's celebrated. The school has a parade around a few blocks, which is a 1mile walk. Kids were carrying signs & flags. The ones who want can wear their mexican attaire. Parents with their younger children walked with us. They either started out with us or meet us on the way around. Here we are getting started, we've just come out of the school. Alex gets to be in front carrying a sign.
Here are the kids marching at about the half-way point. Not far down the road was the principal with her festive hat on, so I had to snap this picture.
After the parade the kids and parents went back to class and had a little party. When the teacher took the kids out because school was over, Alex and I stay and cleaned up. As you can see I got him vaccuming the floor.
