Here's a good "feel-good" Christmas story at Posada Concepcion with pictures
If you need a “feel-good” holiday story here’s one to consider- The Mulege boarding school known as Alberque Escolar Jose Gorosave treated us at the
Posada community palapa with an hours Christmas dancing presentation. Under the direction of Professor Martin Navarro Patron and his wife Maria Elena
Mayoral, the 6-8 year olds displayed their fancy costumes and expert dancing to the delight of nearly 80 people from Posada and Mulege as well. These
children, about fifty in number for the whole school, are all from outlying ranchos and fish camps that come in on Sunday afternoon for school and
live at the school until Friday night. About a dozen kids participated in the dance presentation. In exchange for the show, the children who danced,
as well as all the school children, were treated with gifts from Santa (Herb Blackwell) and Mrs. Santa (Judy Kerlin). The kids also were forced to
witness Mr. and Mrs. Santa, along with The Santa Helpers, do two dance numbers.
This boarding school has been greatly supported by for the last 23 years by a gringo group called “Los Amigos de Los Niño’s” (friends of the
children). Through the years, this supporting group has provided the school with numerous computers/washing machines/air conditioners/ refrigerators
and grocery shopping sprees. As students from this school achieve academic stardom, this supporting group also contributes to their advanced education
at CECYT and the University of La Paz . Ruthann Quarles at Posada Beach ( bajaruth@yahoo.com ) can be contacted should more information be desired
about the supporting group Los Amigos de Los Niño’s

I love Santa's boots from Texas, but the red Crocs on Mrs. Santa Claus really steal the whole show.

Thanks for Sharing
That is just great---it had to be lots of fun. I just love the look on the one boy's face---group dancing right above the picture of Santa----He
looks like he is thinking, "Do I really have to dance with all these girls?"
Sounds like a great school and organization
