Día del Niño

Día del Niño, or Day of the Child, is a celebration that recognizes children's rights, well-being, and importance in society. It's a day to honor children, advocate for their protection and happiness, and make them feel special and loved. The tradition originated in Mexico in 1925, inspired by the first World Conference for the Well-being of Children in Geneva, Switzerland that year. Since then, it's been celebrated annually in Mexico and is now observed in many Latin American and other countries around the world, including the United States. 

If you are interested in teaching or showing something about your culture during the event please contact Lisset Tellez at ltellez@mvwsd.org (example dance, performance, song, etc.)
