These are the only pictures I will be posting until prom night in order to keep the anticipation up, but I want to brag on our welding and building construction classes. In less than 12 hours, they have installed the cabling system ceiling and walls and laid the framework for the dance floor. I am so proud and appreciative of the instructors, Mr. Wilson and Mr. Uhl, and their students. Thank you all - Mrs. Shumaker

🇵🇪✨ ¡Una experiencia peruana en nuestras clases de español! ✨🇵🇪 Our Spanish students recently enjoyed a flavorful Peruvian experience right here at school! Spanish 2 Honors and Spanish 3 students took part in a fun role-play activity, pretending to visit a Peruvian restaurant with their “families.” They practiced ordering food in Spanish and then enjoyed a delicious tasting of arroz chaufa (Peruvian fried rice), tallarín saltado (stir-fried noodles), and chicha morada — all catered by Miskycha, a local Peruvian restaurant. Spanish 1, 4 and 5 Honors students also got to taste chicha morada, tallarín saltado, and arroz chaufa, and had a blast making their own Peruvian tequeños in class! It was a wonderful opportunity to bring Spanish language and culture to life through food, role-play, and hands-on learning. ¡Qué experiencia tan sabrosa! 🌎🍽️ #SpanishClass #CulturalExperience #PeruvianCuisine #LanguageInAction #GHSWorldLanguages
