On Thursday, April 23, Mrs. Lamer's JCHS Spanish II class and Mrs. Hughes' 1st-grade class at West Elementary celebrated Spanish Friendship Day! JCHS students and West Elementary students worked together to create a very special book in Spanish and English, and had so much fun sharing snacks from Spain, playing games, making crafts, and making new amigos, all while learning Spanish and about the special day of friendship!
