Ecuadorian Civic Day at School

Yesterday all schools across Ecuador had a national civic day to honor the top students of the 7th grade. At Hacienda of Hope Christian Academy, we had a ceremony to honor those students. I took the opportunity to take some photos of some of my students :) Unfortunately, I didn't get any good photos of the oldest students, who I spend most of my time with. But please enjoy those I did get!
