Cinco de Mayo—or the fifth of May—is a holiday that celebrates the date of the Mexican army’s victory over France at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War. In the United States Cinco De Mayo has evolved into a celebration of Mexican culture and heritage. When Sydney Manning was asked about Cinco De Mayo he said “I like learning about the history of Mexican culture and getting to eat all of the food.”

In Mrs. Bachmans class students learned about Cinco De Mayo history and participated in fun activities. They also made Spanish foods like quesadillas and other good food.
