Tomorrow is a day of celebration in the Dominican Republic as February 27th is their day of independence. Dominican flags are flying in abundance all around town and fireworks are already starting to be shot off, even at noon the day before.
Doulos Discovery School has five key values: Christian Discipleship, Expeditionary Learning, College Prep, Mixed Student Body, and Dominican School. One of the ways that they embrace being a Dominican school is through their celebration of Independence Day. Usually, each grade does a presentation at a large event that draws in many members of the community. Due to Covid restrictions, the program was done virtually this year. The program highlighted many aspects of Dominican culture and history with kids from pre-kindergarten to high school.
You can see the video that was created here. Brennan’s class starts at the 1:02:48 and ends at 1:10:00. His part (with a special guest actor) is at 1:05:34. It was neat to be able to showcase one of the ways the school came together to embrace its Dominican culture through modern adaptation that was required due to the pandemic. ¡Feliz Día de la Independencia!
