About Independence Day Celebration
 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.  
 
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.
