SAN ANTONIO – Carvajal Elementary School held a Fiesta-themed car parade to bring some joy to communities on the West Side in wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
Although Fiesta is currently postponed until November 5-15 due to the virus, that didn’t stop teachers, administration and support staff with CES to decorate their vehicles with Fiesta-themed decorations and take to the streets to spread smiles among students as they stay at home to help lessen the spread of the virus.
