Cinco de Mayo marks the coming together of the Mexican people when they were threatened by French invasion. On May 5th 1862, the Mexican identity was born. The TMS World Language Department celebrated the event on the basketball court with a piñata that the students tried to break in less than three blows. As the “New Village” students were working in the garden, one of our ninth graders, Jake Miskelley, grabbed the opportunity and invited them to help us in “quebrar la piñata.” Students from The Marin School and New Village School were very happy to join forces and celebrate together this auspicious moment in Mexican history. All is well! Our Spanish speaking students have forgiven the French, and are happy to celebrate both cultures.
