Fifth and Sixth Grade Make New Friends in Spain
The 5th and 6th grade students have been writing letters to schools in the Southern Almeria region of Spain as a part of Senorita Cueto's Spanish classes. The letter writing helps students practice their Spanish skills. In Spain, students practice their English skills in the return correspondence. The letter exchange began in February and ends in June. 
Students exchange details of their lives along with pictures of friends, family, and favorite activities. They love both sending and receiving the letters. It's an excellent opportunity to learn about a different culture and make friends while practicing Spanish.

Video Games Live Co-Creator Speaks to Students
Tommy Tallarico, founder and co-creator of Video Games Live, spoke with more than 100 Fairmont Prep students in the International Business Program (IBP) and Visual And Performing Arts (VAPA) department last Friday. He shared his story from growing up in a small town to making millions through his combined passions of music and video games. At the age of 21, he started out as a video game tester and later became a composer and musician with more than 250 video game credits to his name. Video Games Live is an international concert series that showcases music from well-known video games. During his presentation, Tallarico encouraged our students to follow their passion, build relational networks, and say "yes" to opportunities.
