Sleeping in, swimming pools, and sunscreen. These are a few of the items that can be found during the first week of summer vacation for most high school students. However, for a group of lucky Spanish IV students at Western Dubuque High School, the first week of summer will entail airplanes, passports, and tamales. During the first week in June of 2012, this small cluster of students will have the opportunity to travel to Guatemala to learn about the culture there, as well enhance their Spanish-speaking skills. While in Guatemala, these teenagers will also make time to visit and assist at a local orphanage.
Fundraising for this fantastic opportunity includes a Mexican dinner at Fiesta Cancun Restaurant at 6:00 p.m. Tuesday, December 6th. The price of a ticket is $10; tips and donations are also greatly appreciated. To purchase tickets, please contact Mrs. Witter, the Spanish teacher who is organizing and chaperoning the trip. People in attendance are reminded to sign in. Due to the limit of 50 total participants, tickets will sell quickly, and it is high recommended that you purchase your tickets right away.
