New Spanish classes
The school has hired a new teacher for the classes offered to the 415 students from pre-K to fifth grade, says Principal Eric Nelson.The idea arose from a parent in the parents group, he said.
So when students returned to school this week, the new class became part of the curriculum. "I feel a sense of pride for our school district because we're a small district, but there's no reason why we can't give our kids the opportunities offered by big districts or private schools," Nelson said.
Spanish is also taught at the middle school and the high school in the district of less than 900 students.
