Spotlight of the Week
Valentine's Day is just around the corner and EDS Primary School students are using it as a learning experience. In celebration of the many cultures that our student body represents, our primary school students learned how to say 'I love you' in several languages. They created hearts and wrote 'I love you' in twelve languages. From the Spanish 'Te Amo' to Hungarian 'Szeretlek', many languages were represented.
