Last week, Señora Lamer and Señora Rojas’ classes visited the Hispanic Festival in Soulard to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month. Students participated in a scavenger hunt around the festival practicing their Spanish speaking skills, tried several different foods from the Hispanic culture, and learned multiple dances including the salsa, mambo, and the cumbia. It was a HOT but great day for our JCHS Spanish students.


This Week in Jersey Activities!
