Our Young Students Celebrate Independence Day in Guatemala

By Christine Garrison | Project Leader

We know how important it is that children learn about, celebrate and take pride in their local culture. Last week, to help celebrate Guatemalan Independence Day, students and staff at the Acorn Childcare Center held a colorful celebration of Guatemalan culture. Students decorated the classrooms with national symbols including el quetzal, Guatemala’s national bird, and monja blanca, Guatemala’s national flower. They wore trajes típico (traditional costumes), danced to the music of the Marimba and marched in their own parade through the hallways, much like the big parades held in the streets on Independence Day, with family clapping and singing along. Your continued support makes moments like this possible for our students. Thank you!
