Cinco de mayo history. Often confused with Mexican Independence Day (September 16), the 5th of May remembers the unlikely and surprising victory of a small Mexican force against French invaders. Students in Señor Cox's classes learned about the history of Cinco de mayo while enjoying homemade street tacos and other treats. Students and parents helped by donating and preparing ingredients like onions, limes, and cheese. Gracias to all the parents!![](https://462c01e6fedab5dfa490-3faff6e2480269dc062cf44c1290382c.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com/post_image/data/2149/1557955048000.jpeg)
