Spanish Students Conduct Fashion Show
Ms. Rowland's Spanish II students performed a fashion show for their class.
Each group had to design a one of a kind outfit and put together a description
of what their classmate was wearing. Students celebrated their hard work
by having a fashion show where the models strolled down the catwalk
and the announcers described what they were wearing.
