YWLA Celebrates Grandparents’ Day & 16 de septiembre! 🇲🇽❤️
Grandparents’ Day & 16 de septiembre was a special event honoring family, culture, and tradition.
Students showcased vibrant folklórico & mariachi performances that highlighted the rich heritage of Mexico while paying tribute to the grandparents whose love, wisdom, and support help guide and inspire our students every day. The celebration brought our school community together in a meaningful way, recognizing the important role grandparents play in preserving traditions and strengthening family bonds.
Thank you to all of our grandparents for your unwavering encouragement, guidance, and love. We are grateful for the lasting impact you make in the lives of our students & families. ❤️
Happy Grandparents’ Day & Viva México! 🇲🇽
