Day School Student and Teacher Receive State Awards
"Spanish has always been one of my passions, from when I first learned colors in elementary school, to being fully immersed through the IUHPFL in Spain this past summer. To be recognized for this award is such an honor, and I could not have achieved this without the support from my parents and Spanish teachers."
Senior Leila Grossman and Upper School Spanish teacher Linda Huber will be recognized at the state level with awards from the Indiana Chapter of the American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese.
