This event was based on an old Mexican yuletide custom that was first adopted by Miss Marguerite Collier in 1937 to build students’ pride in their Hispanic heritage, and has since then become an annual celebration for all its students and the community. | | | | Repository: | University of Arizona Libraries, Special Collections | | | | Subjects: | Carrillo Intermediate Magnet School (Tucson, Ariz.). | Posadas (Social custom). | | | | Matches:
