Spanish Students Kick Off Bilingual Intercambio Program with Waltham Library
Students in "Spanish 3B" are kicking off a weekly bilingual Intercambio Program (cultural and language exchange) at the Waltham Library.
This partnership is a result of alum Torin ’23's senior capstone, where he focused on building stronger bridges between our English and Spanish speaking community members by bringing people together through shared language and culture.
Over the last few months, Spanish teacher Ben Ibbetson has continued the partnership with the library and it has grown into weekly exchanges. Students will be working on their Spanish conversation skills with native speakers while also helping native speakers improve their English skills. CSW students will be visiting the library every Friday until March 8.
