Fundraising for Education

I guess it all began with my desire to learn and be fluent in Spanish.  I wish I had that gift/talent.  So, like many parents, we try to give to our children what we didn't have.  So I figured, if I don't have the program at my school, why not create one?

In my quest to bring a foreign language into our public school, I have been so fortunate to receive so much help getting the program started.  Other teachers and parents have come forward to contribute in various ways to get the class and curriculum going.  Our first year received the assistance of parents who helped walk the kids to and from class (Thank you Anne and Jasmine) and others who would help get the teacher paid (thank you year one Spanish Class parents).

After the success of the first year, I received the overwhelming comment from parents that they wished the class took place more often.  I thought the best way to learn a language was to have exposure more often.  But then we don't want to burn our young little rascals out, right?  Soooooo I thought, let's make it fun.  This second year of the program will be entirely arts and movement, but in a different language.  And it will be every day for just 25 minutes to begin the new day.  Hopefully this pilot program will go well.  I will keep you all posted!
