A Holiday Gift from the Spanish Club

The Spanish Club had their first performance for parents on Thursday December 3rd, the club put on 2 performances to accomadate their guests. The students performed dramatizations of school life completely in Spanish. A parent was nice enough to volunteer to help the club by using the Flip Video Camera to capture the performances. I hope you enjoy them!

A Season for Giving

As we prepare to enter the Holiday Season this December, I realized something while purchasing some toys to bring to the Devils Game with me on Friday for their Annual Toys for Tots Drive. If we all give a little a small amount what we can afford we can help a lot of people. I really am not one to ask for others help but if all my friends could help out my students by giving a little bit you really can make a difference. Please help fund this project for my students it would really mean a lot to me. You can enter any amount you want remember every little bit helps.
