Please enjoy the picture slide show from our Mexican Market. The kids had so much fun trading with each other. It was a perfect ending to our unit of study on Mexico. Thank you parents for helping your children remember to bring everything. We also thank the many parents who shared items for our special Mexican snack and helped us set up, serve, and clean up. What a fun afternoon! |
