Mid-Prairie parents instructed small groups of fellow parents and teachers in how to make pozole, a popular soup/stew from Mexico. Each family has their own special recipe with unique ingredients and methods for preparing their pozole. At the end, all teachers, parents, and children were able to try three delicious types of pozole, two special hot drinks (hot chocolate and warm punch), and some rosca de reyes for dessert. The children concluded the celebration with a piñata! Thank you to everyone who attended and made this event possible! #mphawks

MP East and West have been learning about the three kings celebration in Spain and Mexico during Spanish class. They have been enjoying hot cocoa and Rosca de los Reyes while watching 3 kings parades, a perfect treat for cold Iowa winter days! #mphawks
