🎉 Celebrating Mexican Independence Day at ALPS! 🇲🇽

Our San Luis ESOL Literacy Coordinator and Instructor, Adriana Felix, brought history to life in her classroom today! Students learned about the rich history behind Mexican Independence Day while practicing their English through speaking, reading, and writing activities — and they all came dressed up to celebrate in style. 🌟

Adriana’s creative teaching approach keeps language learning fun, interactive, and meaningful. By weaving cultural celebrations into her lessons, she sparks curiosity, builds community, and gives her students the confidence to practice English in real-world conversations. 🗣️📚

We’re so proud of our students’ enthusiasm and of Adriana’s dedication to making every lesson an experience to remember. 💚🤍❤️
