Dia del Estudiante (Student's Day)


Yesterday, Sept 20th, was Student's Day.  It's basically just a big party all day!  They get to eat lots of junk and then the staff puts on  a sort of talent show for them.  It was a lot of fun!

This is one of the classroom parties.
A few of the boys enjoying their snacks.
Isela is in the middle.
More kids having fun in their classroom.
Some of the moms bring food and help serve.
Lots of food!
Tamara with her classmates.
The school director and Fiorella, the school secretary, don't miss out on the food!
And now for the show...Padre Daniel gives the opening comments.  I don't think the director is really asleep back there!
The raising of the Peruvian flag.
This is the first grade getting ready to attend the show.  They come into the library all the time..so cute!
Fiorella and Gabriel host a pretend talent show.
This one of the teachers on the right with the microphone acting like an unorganized student.

Some of the students enjoying the show.

A group of teachers dancing for the kids.  They loved it!
This is a skit where various characters came by and tried to disarm whatever animal was supposed to be in the tent.  Spiderman was unable to tame it!  As was Batman and Superman.

You can see there is quite a struggle going on inside the tent!
This is supposed to be Indiana Jones giving it a try.  He also fails.
Alas, one of the students, Carlos, gets the wild beast under control and becomes the hero!
Pamela, on the right, is not sure what to think of that!

There is also a sack race.

And finally a toilet paper wrapping contest.  The kids really seemed to enjoy the festivities and I think the teachers liked it too!

This is some of the little girls leaving at the end with all their pink backpacks!
