Extra! Extra! White Kids Cheated Out of Holiday

This past weekend St. Stephen's hosted "El Dia de Los Ninos", a holiday on par with Mother's Day and Father's Day, but for children. I'm told it has its roots in the latino world, which is believable because within my caucasion heritage the answer to the question "Why isn't there a Children's Day?" is always sharply countered with "Every day is children's day, son. Now go mow the lawn."

Anyhow, the event was a smashing success. Our marketer, Celia Guzman, was able to coordinate a myriad of activities, from a toy gun buy back to a pepper eating contest; Moreover, our school received flattering press in many forms of media: TV, radio, color photo (w/ article) on the front page of the metro section of the Kansas City Star, and Br. Dale mentioned that a featured speaker at the May 1st KC immigration rally made mention of the event as well.

I thought the event to be exemplary as it reflects the true nature of the culture I serve.
