I've begun to work in my school. Good ole' Colegio Americano in Puebla.
The history of the school is pretty straight forward. Some rich folks wanted to set up a school to teach the American kids who were living in Puebla. I think the first classroom was in someone's garage. Then as time went on the school grew to the staggering institution it is today. They have an amazing sense of school pride and community in there school, aided no doubt by the school mascot, the Husky.
Snow dog, in Mexico, I know...but whaddya gonna do? We can't do any culturally insensitive mascots anymore...To bad we couldn't be the Snow Whites, I mean, the merch ideas are endless....
Your teacher picture is amazing.
ReplyDeleteMaybe lindsay could paint the jesus and mickey mouse mural there; it seems like the audience is ready and waiting.
Also, are you sure that the husky is not a culturally insensitive mascot? I know some men who had to shop in the "husky" section growing up and they would beg to differ.
I am still shopping in the Husky section, but that is besides the point. My guess is that husky is a compliment here in Mexico. Where else do you hear abuelas llama a sus nietos, "mi gordito!" Literally, "little fat boy."
