vJ,.: 's. lf FCREIGN LANGUAGE STUDENTS WORK WITH WORDS Sprayberry's Foreign Language Department could be called the little department that offers a lot. When a student enrolls in a foreign language class they learn more than another language. They learn the customs, traditions, and the foods of other countries. The department offers students three different languages: Spanish, French, and Latin. Students can take as many as four years in one language class. The department, along with the foreign language club, sponsors Foreign Language Week, when students make posters one day, and have a food day another. On the last day students in all foreign language classes gather into the Large Group Instruction Area for music, skits and interviews with other students. Below: ECOUTE-MOI, Listen to me. Lisa Naftel and Anne Bray drill the class on terms in foreign language. Lett: SENIORS Theresa Frassand and Ellen Fowler explain about being a foreign exchange student to students during Foreign Language Week. V 2 Y. 2 v ful hltyf
