Trebol holds an Amigos Celebration each spring. This fun event serves as a reward to the students from each school for their participation and good sportsmanship. Students from every school are invited to participate in a soccer tournament, where teams are formed by combining students from each school. The tournament provides a great opportunity for the student to interact with students from the other schools, and replicates the experience of a team sport tournament. Students and volunteers receive an Amigos t-shirt at the tournament.
  

HINT: School schedules get tight at the end of the year. Set this up at the beginning of the program to ensure securing a date, and hopefully a rain day as well.
