The World Language Department at Garden City High School has been bustling with activity in February and March, engaging students in various cultural and educational initiatives.
The Spanish Club continued its tradition of participating in The Pulsera Project, a nonprofit organization aimed at empowering Central American artists by providing sustainable fair trade employment. Through selling hand-woven pulseras, the club not only supports these artisans but also fosters cultural exchange among students.
In March, the department celebrated World Language Week with engaging activities, including trivia questions about different languages. The highlight of the week was the second annual World Language Badminton Tournament, where over 60 students participated. Prizes were awarded to the top teams, and creative costumes added to the fun atmosphere. The event raised $543, which was donated to the World Central Kitchen, supporting its mission to provide meals during crises.
Additionally, on March 20, the German, Italian, Latin and Spanish honor societies inducted 119 students. This ceremony recognized the hard work and dedication of World Language students, some of whom were inducted into multiple honor societies for their concurrent studies in Latin and modern languages.
Congratulations to all the inductees for their diligence and commitment.
