hroughout the United States, Cinco de Mayo, the 5th of May, is the date observed in the United States
as a celebration of Mexican heritage and pride. At Brunswick’s Lower School, it was the culmination of the
2nd grade’s study of Mexican history, music and culture under the tutelage of Pre/Lower School Spanish teacher Hector Marban. In conjunction with Greenwich Academy, the boys don sombreros and bandanas to perform a traditional Mexican dance with 2nd grade girls dressed in tiered skirts and shawls. This year, the event, which rotates between Brunswick and GA every other year, took place in Greenwich Academy’s gym.
