Fiesta - El Rey Feo

The Royal Fiesta Court came to visit Sarah and Jacob's school last week. El Rey Feo is the "People's King". There are also a myriad of others on the court and multiple queens. I don't even understand them all. But since their motorcade had blocked in my car in the parking lot, I had no choice but to stay and listen to the presentation. His message to the kids was "Education is Golden."



The wind was chilly but the atmosphere was fired up as the King mentioned that Hardy Oak was the #1 elementary school in San Antonio!



They told a sweet story about looking for a golden coin that showed education is power and had them chanting "college! college! college!"





The whole visit took about 30 minutes but it was fun for the kids to see and they each got a golden coin that said "education is golden" on it. Fiesta is a big deal here in the Alamo City. The kids were out of school Friday for the Battle of Flowers parade holiday.
