Dressed for a Fiesta!

Winnona Park Spanish teacher Seňora Ortiz wanted to create a cultural “fiesta” at which her second grade students could celebrate all that they had learned about the Mexican culture and perform for their parents. The students learned traditional Mexican songs and dances, but they didn’t have any traditional costumes for their final performance. A DEF grant helped purchase sombreros for the boys and brightly colored fabric to make festive skirts for the girls. The costumes will now be available for use by the Spanish department for future celebrations.
