FCCLA sponsored a school picnic on Friday, May 7th. Due to rainy weather, the picnic was moved to the gym, but everyone's spirits were
in the right place. CINCO DE MAYO was celebrated, complete with Mexican music in the background and pinatas hanging from the basketball hoops. Sherry 
and Pam prepared an authentic Mexican meal of Gordita (tortilla with beef, rice, beans, and special sauce), 
Sandia (watermelon), Ensalada (Mexican salad), Eskimo con Crujientes (ice cream with crumbles) and Leche (milk). The beans and sauce were direct from Nicaragua thanks to Sherry's trip there. Muchas gracias, Sherry and Pam--that was the "Sack Lunch of the Year!!"Each class had their own pinata to "swing a stick at" thanks to Jill's Spanish classes. Students took their places in circles and cheerfully taunted their classmates as they swung and missed.
Thanks to the teachers for volunteering to scoop ice cream and supervise the pinatas. Thanks to the students who helped clean up the gym.
It was a great time!
