What We Are Learning 
The APES class lead by Mrs. Ramon, has been studying water. To enhance their studies, students toured the Dos Rios water recycling plant and walked through the physical, biological, and chemical processes of removing contaminants from San Antonio's wastewater. After treatment, effluent water is sent directly to the Medina River, the San Antonio Riverwalk, golf courses, and commercial and industrial customers around San Antonio.
The APES class was also able to tour the newly opened desalination plant. Its purpose is to pump brackish water from the Wilcox Aquifer, then treat it so that is drinkable and is an additional water resource to SAWS customers.

CONGRATULATIONS: ACP TEACHER OF THE YEAR AND NOMINEE
It is with great pride that we honor Mrs. Yazmina Turner. Mrs. Turner is a caring and invaluable member of our school community. She is in her seventh year with Antonian, but has taught Spanish for twenty-five years. With her leadership, she has dramatically and positively improved the Spanish program at Antonian. As department chair, she guides her teachers and expects superior teaching. 
Mrs. Turner's love for the Spanish language and culture is evident in all that she does. She brings her passion for the culture into her teachings. She truly cares about the success of the students and communicates with parents, working in partnership with them. She not only teaches Spanish, but during class she also finds opportunities to share with the students ways of making "Godly choices."
Mrs. Turner is a member of the American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese (AATSP), attending meetings to stay current with educational developments. She takes advantage of Advanced Placement (AP) workshops in order to improve instruction for and outcomes of AP exams. She has also been an AP exam reader for College Board for fourteen years. She is a member of the Antonian Professional Learning Community (PLC) and has a Master's degree in linguistics.
Mrs. Turner's faith is very important to her and she lives her faith in so many ways, serving as a model for her students. It is with great pride that we honor Mrs. Turner as Antonian's Teacher of the Year and nominate her for the Archdiocesan Teacher of the Year Award program, the results of which will be announced in May 2017.
