Fiesta and Family Picnic

Saturday, May 3, 2025

2:00pm to 5:00pm, MPR

Our annual Fiesta and Family Picnic is a fun-filled day of celebration where the CCE community comes together to celebrate Latin cultures and our unique school community. 

This is a free event open to the entire community, so ask your neighbors, colleagues, friends, and family to join us!

Here's what's in store:

• Live performances: Enjoy stellar live performances including dancers, poets, and musicians (both professional and CCE student performers). 

• Activities and crafts: Moving from country to country, children have their "passport" stamped while making crafts from a country in Latin America, fishing for toys, gardening, and playing loteria. Get more than 6 stamps to earn a prize!

• Food trucks: We'll have food trucks where you can buy Mexican food, ice cream, and other tasty fare

• Piñata: Children in grades K-3 can try their hand at breaking the piñata and grabbing the candy inside

• Face painting: Free face painting for kids ... if we get enough volunteer painters (see below)

When and Where?

Fiesta 2025 will from 2:00pm to 5:00pm on Saturday, May 3, 2025 in CCE's new MPR and the surrounding area. Rain or shine. Bring a picnic chair and/or a blanket and settle in for an afternoon of fun and community! 

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

Like all of our great events, Fiesta only works if we have enough volunteers. Here's how you can help:

1. Please sign up for a time slot to volunteer here. Most time slots are only one hour, so we need lots of people to contribute just a little bit of time. We love having teen volunteers - especially Chavez alum - so ask (or "voluntell") your teen to sign up. 

2. Bring your extra candy and wrapped snacks to the box in the CCE office. We are looking for small pieces of wrapped candy to give away as prizes at Fiesta, so let us take all of that uneaten candy off your hands! Drop it off in the bin marked "Fiesta" in the front office any day. We'll also take any small toys you want to get rid for the fishing booth. (Yes! A use for the toys from birthday goody bags!) 

3. Share your piñata expertise. We're looking for a few people to lead the piñata stations. If you have a good piñata bat and rope and have been a piñata master before, we need you! Email us at ccesipat@gmail.com.
