On the eve of Mexico’s most important holiday, as our pre-Independence Day blog explained, every town in the country celebrates Father Miguel Hidalgo’s historic declaration of independence from 300 years under Spanish rule, called the “El Grito” (or the “cry for independence”).
Mexico’s Independence Day is the 16th of September, and is also known by the date (Dieciseis de Septiembre) officially celebrated from the evening of the 15th of September with serious partying through the wee hours of the 16th and all that day.

The fundraising goal for the Rubber Ducky Race in July was to raise enough money to cover the utility bills to keep the La Esperanza Para Nueva Vida Community Center open throughout the sweltering summer months so that scheduled programs could continue without a break in consistency. Just like the first race two years ago, the funds raised at this year’s race…
As often happens with trusted charities like Adopt-a-Classroom, there is a literal league of loyal donors who can be counted on every year to play a major part in helping the organization reach, or, in the case of Barb and Mark, exceed their goals. This year, one of their more consistent over-achievers has gathered more donations than they can carry down in their busy schedule.
