Language Fair at Instituto Laurens (May 28, 2010)

Do you remember the fun of language fairs in high school??  All the foods...the pictures...and the joyous atmosphere??  Well, things were no different at El Instituto Laurens on the 28th of May when they held their annual language fair.
Instituto Laurens in a Methodist-related institution here in Monterrey, complete with pre-school, primary school, secondary school, high school...and even a bachelor's degree program for those wanting to be bilingual teachers.  All of the Herrin children have been students there...and Jeanne has taught in both the primary school and in the high school.  This year, Jeanne has been teaching English and reading at the high school level, and in just two short weeks, Jesse will be graduating (2nd in her class!!!) from the high school.
Below, enjoy the sights of the language fair...and use your imagination to savor the sounds and flavors.  Oh, and so you know, Jeanne worked with students who represented English-speaking countries (England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales).  Jesse was in the French world, representing one of the sections of Paris...

Here, Jesse gives the welcome speech in French as the fair kicks off....

Jon gets to sample the "hacis parmentier"...made from scratch by Jesse and Edgar (L).

Megan came to the fair to be with friends as well...and to take pix!

Thank you for all you do...for your prayers and gifts--both of which keep the ministry alive and effective here in Mexico!
