Thanks to 8th Grade Parents and Students

I can't say it enough...."Muchas Gracias" to all of the parents, students and teachers who helped make our second annual "Salsa de Mayo" event a huge success!
I still can't believe we managed to clean and decorate the cafeteria in one and a half hours.  The students and parents created an amazing, festive atmosphere.  Special thanks go to Mr. Loughran and the decoration committee for our new palm tree murals...VERY IMPRESSIVE!
Then we fed 115 students (nearly twice the number of last year) in record time due to the great organization of our volunteers by Mrs. Prattos.
The goal was to give our 8th Grade Spanish students a total immersion experience in language and culture and I think we accomplished our goal.  For 3 hours, students danced, ate, spoke, and listened to ESPAÑOL!
