New Logo

 
Spanish and La Esperanza Clubs designed a new logo in order to order shirts or sweatshirts.  The front says J-sí-A, and the back has a cartoon bear and says,
"We OSO fine!"

Throwback Thursday!


 
Do you recognize the young lady in the traditional Sevillana dress? 


If you guessed Profe Finaldi, you are right!  This was taken when she stayed with a family during a short term exchange program with a school in Huelva, in the Provence of Andalucia in the South of Spain.  Her host brother's name was Maximiliano Navas Garateo.  They still keep in touch on Facebook!

Flyswater Fun



 

 Mary Nahas, '14 has a shadow visitor, who happens to be her sister!
It's a battle between Erinn Sharp and Kevin Jensen, both class of '14, Spanish IVH.

They are struggling...

 Looks like Erinn found the word first!!!
Now Caroline Bender battles her buddy, Nina Clevinger.
Does Ninas look in the photo below mean she won?


Now, Mary Nahas takes on Ysa Lozano, '15

Next it is Mary  up against Chris Korst, '14.  Looks like Chris found it first!



 How about this pair...Dan "Bo" Randich, '14 vs. John '14?


 Is that the look of a winner or a glare of defeat?
