Dia de La Independencia (Independence Day) plans!

Homeroom 6th Graders! (And, really, everyone else, too!)

The plans for Honduras' Independence Day have been set!

On September 10, as in years past, each Discovery School class will be creating a parade float that shows creativity, patriotism, love, and respect for this wonderful country!

6th Grade (my homeroom) has the topic of: Comayagua
7th Grade: Amapala (beach tourist attractions)
8th Grade: Bay Islands
12th Grade: (This is your last one: make it GREAT!) Employer Fairs (ask your homeroom teacher about this, I'm not 100% what it means)

7th, 8th, and 12th graders, check with your homeroom teachers for more information about your floats.

6th graders (and 6th grade parents!): This is the time for you to shine. I have never been to Comayagua (something I hope to change before September 10), but for now, you are the experts! Please start thinking of creative, patriotic, loving, and respectful ways to portray Comayagua to the rest of the school. (And if any of you have something on wheels we can use on the base, please let me know!!)

ALL STUDENTS: To help ensure this event is a success, and to defray some of the costs of the delicious Honduran food that will be served after the parade, each family is asked to donate 100 Lempiras cash only, to be brought to school and given to the homeroom teacher (or classroom teacher for elementary students) with the youngest child in the family. Receipts will be available for anyone who wishes one.

Remember, this is 100 Lempiras PER FAMILY, sent with the YOUNGEST family member, CASH ONLY (no checks, please). Questions? Shoot me an e-mail or comment here at the blog.

I am really looking forward to my first Discovery School Honduran Independence Day Celebration...let's make it the best one yet!
