SJS Celebrates the Día de la Hispanidad
Students of IB Spanish came together to celebrate (and question the nature of) the Día de la Hispanidad. Students listened to presentations, thoroughly engaged with the quiz, and ate a LOT of Spanish tortillas, croquetas and guacamole!
To participate in the event, students were asked to make a minimum donation of one euro in order to continue our support of Oscar, a young boy in a Guatemalan orphanage. Thanks to student donations towards the event, a total of 240 euros was raised, which brings our total fundraising amount within the Spanish Department to just over 800 euros.
Special congratulations to the winning teams: Argentina, Nicaragua, Panamá, Spain, Uruguay and Venezuela. Quiz winners took home some Spanish turrón. ¡Gracias a todos!
