Spanish Class News and Announcement

Submitted by chris.killpack on

Many of our students turn 15 in Junior High. The quinceaƱera celebration is a tradition among many Spanish speaking countries.  This tradition has been carried on for many years in many communities. In our Spanish classes we have been learning about the tradition and the meaning of it.  Last week we had our mini-celebrations of the quinceanera.  Students were able to try on an authentic quinceanera dress. Students have been learning the history of merengue and salsa dances as well.

It is an end-of-grade-level high school assessment for students in 9th and 10th grade. Utah Aspire Plus includes four subtests: Reading, English, Mathematics, and Science.
