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 and chair 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.

Session 1 will begin October 7. Registration will open soon!
We are working hard to finalize all of the details for our After School Programs.
Flamenco will be offered on Mondays after school and
Fiesta Latina will be offered on Fridays, 3:35 - 4:45pm. Bomba del Sol will not be offered for Session 1, as the instructors had prior engagements. We hope to offer Bomba del Sol later in the school year, depending on instructor availability.
