Back in March, a group of students from the high school’s German and Spanish classes took an exciting trip to St. Marys High School to participate in a Foreign Language Day to learn about various cultural elements that are not our own here in America. It consisted of competitions ranging from art, to skits, to costumes, and all kinds of fun activities that students could participate and compete in.

Frau Simpson, German teacher, said, “It was a lot of fun, and a great experience to meet other foreign language students and teachers from other schools.  The other schools who participated were St. Marys, Brockway, and Elk County Christian.

Senora Wittie, Spanish teacher, stated, “This was my first year bringing students to Foreign Language Day and it was a wonderful experience. All of our students worked hard and did very well. I’m looking forward to bringing students again next year.”
