Cinco de Mayo in the U.S. is a good opportunity for kids to get a history and civics lesson and have fun doing it. - - Donna Poisl

The students at Sarah Milner Elementary School stared wide-eyed at the beautiful costumes and stomping feet in front of them.
During an assembly Tuesday morning to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, the children got the opportunity to watch a performance by a Mexican folk dance troupe from Fort Collins.
“It was pretty cool, and I like how all the girls swing their skirts around like that,” said third-grader Becca Tremelling.
In addition to the music, dancing and laughing, the students also got to learn a little more about the history of the holiday and why it is so important to the Mexican people.
Sarah Milner Principal Dale Bryant and two teachers read the students a story about Cinco de Mayo and its history in Spanish and English.
