It is Wooly Week 2025!!! All of Mrs. Fitzanko's Honors Spanish classes have been working hard all week delving into new vocabulary and phrases through song and storytelling. Throughout the week they have been working on fun activities, listening, speaking and writing. Even though they are still working hard, it has been a delightful change of pace from the norm right before Spring Break. They were even visited by La Sustituta today! #BePurple
