Tell Me Something Good....
Forest Hill Elementary School 5th grader
Stanley Michel always has a ready smile and kind word for everyone he meets. The difference between Stanley and most children his age? Thanks to his driven personality and enrollment in his school's Dual Language program, he can expertly express those kind words in three different languages!
"What I've learned from my mom is that knowing multiple languages could help me get a job," Stanley shares.
