Love and Joy fill the air & hearts of our CW Girls

By Diana Rae Lewis | Founder & President

All dressed up for the fun, CW 4 y/o dancer fun

LOVE and JOY fill the air and hearts of our CW girls every single school day...

It's Carnival time in Latin America and one way or another every fun-loving Peruvian will jump into the fun. CW is no exception, however, we keep it mellow and don't allow girls to throw water balloons at each other. CW girls dance for each of the Andean communities around a pretend gift tree (full of air balloons) and show off their costumes and festive mood. We begin with our youngest 4 y/o girls and then grade by grade the other dancers follow. Each grade chose the music and created the choreography for their dance around the tree. All over Latin America all ages are celebrating and if you see pink and green flour flying through the air and loud laughter it is best to escape as fast as you can. Tourists are a favorite target to soak and dust with colored flour.

As the dancing was ending, Alejandro our psychologist and Simeon our bus driver appeared with spray cans of foam and sprayed the teachers to the delight of all present and white foam was everywhere. The pink flour powder flew over everyone for a bit..they were all having a great time, especially Alejandro and Simeon – adored by the girls. I stayed out of that mess, but enjoyed watching them all play carnival.

Fun was had by all. You can tell by the happy faces of all the teachers, psychologist and bus driver lined up in the bottom photo. Cleanup was easy since the white foam and the pink flour just blew away.
