Justo Lamas Concert 2010
Friday, April 23, 2010

The Justo Lamas 2010 concert was a great success! In addition to Ledyard, students from Stonington and Groton joined us for the show. Highlights of the concert were Cody Doucette's talented version of "Te Toca a Ti" and Nathan Allen's successful tongue-twister "Estoy loco por ti, por ti estoy loco". Both of them won a Justo CD for their efforts. Sra. Anderson's second block Spanish 4 class danced with Justo to "Rķe y Llora" and Koby Nelson and Jessica Meyer performed with Justo to the song "Te necesito". Everyone had a great time! Mark your calendars for Justo's next concert which will be March 21st, 2011!

Chinese Calligraphy
Thursday, February 18, 2010

Today the International Club learned about Chinese Calligraphy with Stephanie Tse. Stephanie explained the Chinese character system and demonstrated how some words have their own character while others are spelled phonetically. She then showed students how to write their names in Chinese using special Chinese paper, ink and brushes.
