INDEPENDENCE DAY CELEBRATION NEWS

As part of the festivities for the Independence Day celebration, we will have a Potluck Breakfast or Snack 

on Tuesday, September 13. 

In the Elementary we are asking each child to bring a typical Honduran breakfast/snack food to share with 5 classmates. Teachers will let parents know what to contribute to minimize repeats of food and drinks. 

In the Secondary (Middle and High School) teachers will send a notification assigning what each student 

should bring to share with their grade for their breakfast.  

Elementary: First and Second periods – A.M. schedule

Middle and High School – Breakfast at 8:00 am- 1st period homeroom (regular classes 2^nd period)

Independence Day Celebration from 10:00-11:45 a.m.

The following is a tentative schedule for the Independence Day Celebration on Tuesday, September 13: 

By 10:00 a.m. everyone should be at the Gym.

Opening Ceremony – 5 minutes

Traditional Dances – 10 minutes

Marimba – 10 minutes

Song sung by Elementary – 10 minutes

Skits/Story about Independence – 25 minutes

After the last presentation, the students will be dismissed. The 10^th, 11^th and 12^th graders will be hosting the following centers:

1. La Cuchara y El Limon
2. Sack Races
3. Jump Rope
4. Tug of War
5. Ronda
6. Hopscotch
7. En Chute

 Each center will last 10 minutes. In order for the centers to run smoothly we must all be on time and follow the schedule.

The groups are divided as follows:

Nursery and PreK (A and B sections)

Kindergarten (A and B sections)

1^st grade (A and B sections)

2^nd grade (A and B sections)

3^rd grade 

4^th grade (A and B sections)

5^th grade (A and B sections)

We are also encouraging children (and teachers too!) to wear “Honduran” clothes on this day. This may 

be a typical Honduran outfit (traje tipico), the National Soccer Team sports outfit, any creative dress up that is representative of Honduras, or simply blue and white. 

 If you have questions or doubts, please feel free to contact your child’s teacher.
