Garden City’s Stratford Avenue School hosts Family FLEStival
On March 27, students and families from Garden City’s Stratford Avenue School and Stewart School’s fourth and fifth grade attended Family FLEStival. Held at Stratford Avenue School, this exciting event celebrated the students’ participation in the Foreign Language in Elementary School program— where they have been learning Spanish— by displaying their hard work and creativity.
Students from the Stewart and Stratford orchestras welcomed attendees with a special and impressive performance at the entrance to the event. Following the orchestra, the Osorio family— parents from Stratford— treated the audience to a lively Latin music performance.
Throughout the evening, families explored a variety of student projects including posters and artwork, all highlighting the students' Spanish language skills. The event also featured digital displays, showcasing the students’ creative use of the language through interactive videos and posters.
Additionally, participants engaged in interactive activities such as a puppet show, FLES bingo, storytelling and arts and crafts.
The Family FLEStival was a great opportunity for students to share their learning, connect with families and celebrate the importance of Spanish language education in a fun and engaging way.
