Copa Libertad

Starting Thursday Colegio Ingles hosted the Copa Libertad. This was a sports invitation that the school has been preparing for for months! The kids were super excited and it was awesome to see how many parents, grandparents, family members and friends came to watch the students' games. Games started at 9 am and went until 10:30 p.m. depending on the night. It was a tournament with ten other schools from Coahuila (our state) and surrounding states. Sadly, Colegio Ingles did not do very well, but it was stil lfun to see school pride.

My little kids are super cute to watch playing, but they always had to play against kids that were bigger than them. They did not get to show their skills because the composition was far more advanced than they were.

Since I had nine kids playing soccer and 7 kids sick, the left over kids in my class and I went to watch them play. It was SUPER cute to listen to them sing "hip hip hooray" in Spanish for 45 minutes straight.....NOT :-p

Once again my school mascot is an eagle, just like it was when I was in elementary school. Kind of fun to go back to the same animal. My kids thought he was AWESOME. Apparently, this is the first year they've had a mascot. One of the students designed the costume and made it as part of a contest to win a free class trip. Pretty awesome!
