8th Grade Fiesta - Friday, May 6th

Parents and Students,

Mark your calendar for our "Salsa de Mayo" fiesta on Friday, May 6th from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. Spanish teachers from a number of Jacksonville schools have coordinated to provide 8th Grade students of similar ability levels an opportunity to use their Spanish in a total immersion experience. Julia Landon is the host, so all of my students will be expected to participate.

Students have already been learning how to dance a little salsa and merengue to prepare for dancing to music provided by a Spanish DJ. There will be a nacho bar, door prizes, a dance contest, a professional dance demonstration, and lots of opportunities to dance and speak Spanish.

Start planning what to wear: boys - dress slacks or khakis and nice shirt
girls - dress or skirt and blouse

(*Clothing must follow Duval County Dress Code....Absolutely no jeans, t-shirts, or flip flops)

If anyone is interested in being a chaperon, please send me an e-mail at dennisl2@duvalschools.org
