2009 Special Project--St Monica's Cinco de Mayo Fiesta
Family Literacy of Racine engages in special projects, both to provide learning experiences for its families and to contribute to
making the City of Racine a better place to live. This youth project for 2009 was a Cinco de Mayo Fiesta for St. Monica's
seniors. The Fiesta was funded by a United Way Youth as Resources (YAR) grant.
FLR's 5th-8th graders worked on this project from
January through May 13, the night of the Fiesta.
3rd and 4th graders helped decorate, helped serve, and
socialized with seniors the night of the fiesta.
Here's a short list of what they did:
