Spanish Honor Society Members
Create Community Service Projects
|
|
This year Covid restrictions prevented Spanish Honor Society members from visiting elementary schools to teach Spanish to kindergarten students, so students had to come up with creative alternatives for their community service projects. Projects included creating videos of themselves reading bilingual children's books, making videos to help tutor Spanish 1 students, designing handy vocabulary reference sheets in Spanish and English to help with certain jobs, collecting sports equipment including dozens of soccer balls and frisbees to send on a mission trip to Puerto Rico, and collecting more than 25 bilingual books to share with our county's ESL program. |
Mara Emami & Garrison Walker
Garrison Walker and Mara Emami coordinated a drive to collect sports equipment that will be sent on a mission trip to Culebra, Puerto Rico. Students brought in dozens of items such as frisbees and soccer balls that will be used at a camp serving over 200 kids.
|
Several students created vocabulary "cheat sheets" that could be utilized to help with communication in various jobs including a veterinarian's office, a day care center, a restaurant, and medical offices. The one pictured was created by Brandy Buchanan for her mother who is a pre-k teacher in hopes that it will help her communicate with her Spanish-speaking students. |
|
Amy Bowden, Madison Collins,
Taylor Shortt, and Hunter Hudson collected more than 25 bilingual children's books which were donated to Ms. Shipman for ESL students in the elementary schools to enjoy.
