Mrs. Fitzanko’s Honors Spanish Students participated in Wooly Week 2024 at the beginning of April. During this immersive week, students were exposed to many different Spanish activities and a newly released song brought on by Sr. Wooly and his team.

These honors students earned a total of 145 raffle tickets by participating in different events throughout this week. Wooly Week is conducted yearly with thousands of student and teacher participants across the United States. Congratulations to the Honors Spanish 1, 2, 3, and AP Students!
