SPACES STILL AVAILABLE!!
The Pencader Charter Spanish Club is traveling to Spain this summer. The trip, from July 5 13, will give our students real life experience to use the Spanish they have learned in class, as well as bringing the cultural lessons from class to life. We will be traveling to Madrid, Toledo, Grenada, Sevilla, and ending on the Costa del Sol in the south. We will be visiting landmarks such as the Prado, the Royal Palace, the Alhambra, and the Plaza de Toros. Students and teachers traveling have the opportunity to earn high school or professional credits while abroad by reflecting on their experience and completing specific course work by EF Tours. Natalie Hyman and Sherry Geesaman are organizing the trip through EF Tours. Any student desiring to obtain high school credit should schedule a time to meet with Mrs. Geesaman prior to May 1st.
