Our Winter Farewell

Our last week together was devoted to Las Posadas, an Hispanic tradition celebrating the process of finding shelter on La Buena Noche. The nine day celebration brought Kindergarten to nine different classrooms at Ainsworth. We sang to all those that would listen but were, in the end, asked to leave eight of the nine classrooms, as is custom. When we finally found a place we were welcome, we had the tremendous pleasure of breaking the piƱata and giving thanks for the kindness of hospitality.

We closed our week with the Ainsworth tradition of building gingerbread houses we those we love. Many thanks to all the volunteers and donations that made the celebration possible.
