Thanks to Chief Sealth International High School principal Aida Fraser-Hammer for the photos and report on the school’s observance of Cinco de Mayo last week:

Chief Sealth students celebrated 5 de Mayo with an assembly that was both educational and entertaining.

The goal of the assembly this year was to educate the Chief Sealth community on the contributions that immigrants make to our country as well as on the plight that undocumented students, who are part of our community, face. At Chief Sealth, 5 de Mayo is used to celebrate Latino culture and foster unity among Latinos and the greater Chief Sealth Community.

Students of all ethnicities participate in the assembly by dancing, hosting, or playing in the Mariachi group.

It’s a celebration that Proyecto Saber and M.E.Ch.L.A students have been organizing for thirty years.
