Canyon Meadows School host to Spanish Embassy guests
Thursday, December 5, we were honored with a visit from guests from the Kingdom of Spain Embassy. Other visitors included the CBE Trustee for Canyon Meadows School, the CBE Education Director of Languages, and two representatives from Alberta Education International Languages. Our guests from the Spanish Embassy came from Ottawa specifically to visit Spanish Bilinguals schools in Alberta.
They visited classes, spoke with students and teachers, and conversed with administration at length about supporting our program. They were able to see part of the dress rehearsal for our December 5 Winter Concert and were impressed with our student performers and staff. They were delighted to see students sharing their learning in Spanish and how the Spanish language and culture is celebrated and taught at Canyon Meadows School.
