For the third consecutive year the students had the opportunity to decorate a float for our Independence Day parade. It was a hot afternoon by the time we started decorating, but all of the kids and teachers chipped in.
This year's September celebrations theme is:
Industrious Hands, Intelligent Minds, Together for Belize
With that in mind, classes also created banners to carry in the parade and display at the Independence Day BBQ.
We held our parade after school on Friday as a kickoff to the holiday weekend.
In addition to banners and our float we had an additional half dozen vehicles that joined our procession around the village and to the field, where the students led the gathered in the singing of Belize's national anthem.
On September 21st all Gallon Jug residents were invited to a BBQ in the village. A group of boys volunteered to start the festivities with a bike parade.
Then it was all about the BBQ!!!
With three grills going there was no shortage of delicious food.
It was a wonderful day of feasting, fun, and celebrating this great nation.
Happy 33rd birthday Belize!!
