MW junior wins travel scholarship to Costa Rica

Please join us in congratulating Julia McClintock (’26-New Kent) on the impressive honor of being selected as a Junior Travel Scholarship recipient! This is a national competition through the American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese (AATSP), and Julia has been awarded a summer trip to Costa Rica. Her trip will balance a focus on conservation, ecotourism, and education while immersing her in the language and culture.

“Julia’s high achievement on the National Spanish Exam qualified her to apply,” said her teacher Amanda Lemco, “and she completed an extensive application process including a written essay and a 5-minute video interview that allowed her to showcase her talent and proficiency in Spanish.”

Congratulations, Julia!
