In a lively celebration of culture and community, students and staff at Birdwell Dual Language Immersion School filled the hallways with colorful clothing and joyful energy as they danced to the vibrant rhythm of La Raspa. The school hosted a special event where both students and teachers embraced the traditional Mexican folk dance, turning the usual classroom routine into a festive experience.

Wearing authentic clothingโ€”brightly colored skirts, embroidered blouses, and sombrerosโ€”students proudly displayed their cultural heritage. The staff joined in as well, with many teachers donning traditional attire to celebrate alongside their students. The hallways, usually quiet between classes, came alive with the stomping and spinning of the well-known La Raspa steps, as everyone participated in the fun.

The La Raspa celebration not only filled the school with laughter and movement but also reinforced Birdwell's dedication to cultural appreciation and community spirit.
