San Marcos High School held its first celebration for Cinco de Mayo on Thursday evening in the school’s library as a celebration of Mexican, Mexican American and Latin American cultures. Hosted by the newly-formed San Marcos High School Spanish club, the event provided live music, performances, readings and free food.
The event came about as part of an effort to promote the school’s new Spanish club.
“We had a big push this year in trying to get a Spanish club in the high school again,“ Spanish teacher Jose Sanchez said. “We encouraged our kids to come up with something that would be good for the community and the high school and this is what they came up with. It’s all our Spanish club members that really put the hard work in to make this happen.”
