It is my pleasure to
officially announce that our Spanish program will once again include our younger grades! Spanish Enrichment classes will be offered to our Kindergarten through Grade 5 students on a weekly basis. Mrs. Alexis Heller, our Spanish teacher, will cover culture, vocabulary, and everyday conversational phrases with a fun, hands-on approach.
Spanish classes in our middle school will continue to be offered 3 times per week. This 3-year program prepares our students at a Spanish I level. With this solid foundation, many of our former students have tested into Spanish II or Spanish Honors in high school. A number of students have even gone as far as Spanish V and have experienced wonderful travel opportunities! We feel our Spanish program is a valuable component of our middle school curriculum, which will only be enhanced now that our younger students will also enjoy the benefits of learning a foreign language.
This weekend, our eighth grade students are enjoying their class trip to Washington, DC. They have a full itinerary which ties into their Social Studies curriculum. Please keep them in your prayers for a safe and successful trip!
As always,
Thank You for your support of Father John V. Doyle School!
