We Need Your Help!
Spanish Immersion Through the Arts (SITA)
|
|
Last year, the amazing SITA committee brought many invaluable Spanish immersion experiences to our students. These ranged from musical performances, to writing workshops, to art and cultural lessons, to dance instruction.
We would love to continue at least some of these exciting activities that enrich our students' Spanish experience
this school year.
However,
SITA still needs new volunteers to join the committee or these activities won't happen! If you want to help bring unique art that is rich in the Spanish language and culture to our Puesta del Sol students, please email
edenhancement@puestadelsolpta.org
.
Learn more about SITA and the experiences it provided last year.
