La kermes de mi escuela

Hi everybody
Every September in my school we celebrate “kermes” for the Independence of México. A kermes is a festival celebrated in schools. Kermes is celebrated 3 times in a year. It is celebrated in September to celebrate the Mexican Independence, next in November for the Mexican revolution and finally in March to select the queen and King of the school for the spring season. Sometimes the students also dance.
The kermises are mostly celebrated on Fridays. In kermes days we just have 2 hours of class. Then we have the festival. They play music. Parents come and help in various things. Amma always participate and help in selling things. We have to change our money for some types of currency to buy these things. My father usually gives me 30 pesos for the Kermes. The usual things that are sold are tostadas (a typical Mexican food), corns, cakes, coke and cascarones (cleaned egg shells with pieces of colored paper and it is also decorated). Two of my classmates broke the cascarones on my head. The money collected from the Kermes will be used for the necessities of the school.
This is how we celebrate the kermes in my school. All of us enjoy this day very much. I like kermes celebrations.
