Grant Funded Project:
Spanish and French Awareness Week for Kindergarten through 4th Grade.
Language is essential in our lives because it is a window to understanding different cultures, traditions, and ways of thinking. Therefore, fostering language awareness and appreciation from an early age is crucial. We are forming global students and citizens.
"The Spanish and French Awareness Week aims to ignite students' curiosity, appreciation, and enthusiasm for language learning and cultural exploration. By exposing students to the richness of Spanish and French languages and cultures from an early age, we hope to instill in them a lifelong passion for languages and a deep respect for diversity. Through engaging and interactive activities, we aim to create a vibrant and inclusive learning environment where students can thrive as global citizens."
