Welcome To Peña Elementary's Blog

                      Fiesta!
Peña Elementary and the entire city celebrates our ties with Mexico. Every February our entire community throws a Fiesta! Hundreds of people come downtown the Sunday of Charro Days Week to celebrate "Baile del Sol" The crowds range from the elderly, to teenagers, to families with small children. Different Schools showcase the talents of thier students as they perform traditional Mexican dances.
