Please join me in congratulating Jesus Gonzalez-Esclalera (’26-Goochland) and Amy Sun (’27-Henrico) on the impressive honor of being selected as Travel Scholarship recipients! This is a national competition through the American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese (AATSP), and these two students have been awarded a summer trip to Salamanca. The trip will include 20 hours of classes at the Universidad de Salamanca and facilitate sightseeing tours and fun cultural components such as cooking, sports, film, and a scavenger hunt.
Jesus and Amy’s high achievement on the National Spanish Exam qualified them to apply, and they completed an extensive application process, including a written essay and a 5-minute video interview that allowed them to showcase their talent and proficiency in Spanish.
Congratulations, Jesus and Amy!
Proudly announced by teachers Ruth Bradner and Amanda Lemco.
