Participating live from TC8 this morning! #WVSolutions Seekers Student Leadership Virtual Conference provides an opportunity for WV students to meet state leaders and learn how they can be successful professionally right here in the Mountain State.
Full agenda at WVSolutions.net
GHS’s Spanish program hosted a concert featuring Puerto Rican singer Edgar Rene. Schools from across the state came to see him sing. During the show, a group of students performed their dance for the song “Como la Flor.” Brylen Purkey and Jerra Halbritter sang a song along with Edgar on stage. After the concert, students ate tacos and sopapilla in the Mary Battle room and then played in a soccer tournament.
Last week, the Spanish 3 and 4 Honors classes created and presented their Soy un Artista projects. The project required research on a famous artist from the Spanish-speaking world and then dressing up and acting as said artist. Pictured are the students in their outfits next to the artists they portrayed. Some of the artists include Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, Salvador Dali, Pablo Picasso, and more.
