ASD celebrated their annual International Week from the 20th to the 24th of January. They asked that students come to school wearing their home country's traditional dress. Gabrielle, of course, wore her Mexican pesant dress. Nick and Mom went up to the school to take part in the week's opening ceremony. Two students from each native country were asked to carry their country's flag down the middle isle as the MC gave a short commentary about that country. The biggest cheers were received as both the United States of America and the Qatari flags were presented. Totally awesome!!! When Gabrielle came home from school that day, she told us that when the kids at school saw her in her dress, they asked her why she was wearing that, when they knew she was from Texas. She so eloquently answered, "I am, but I am also a Mexican!"
