Italy
Twenty
three intrepid Latin students and three teachers traveled to Italy over
February vacation 2012 for a nine day opportunity to visit many of the
sites that they have studied in Latin class. The tour started in the Bay
of Naples area. Staying in Sorrento, a lovely seaside resort town on
the Amalfi coast, the students took day trips to explore the vast
archaeological site of Pompeii, three majestic Greek temples poised on a
cliff overlooking the sea in Paestum, and the National Archaeological
Museum in Naples. Read more >>
Panama
In
January, in the heart of Panama, people from all around the world were
tapping their feet and clapping their hands to the sound of sweet, sweet
jazz. Musicians were playing at venues throughout Panama City, and jam
sessions were swinging long into the night. The sky was blue, and the
sea was green, and the city was alive with music. It was the Panama Jazz
Festival.
Because of the diligent efforts of Guillermo Nojechowicz, who
organized our concerts and fundraisers and helped us jump numerous
hurdles in getting the trip approved, a group of six CRLS students/jazz
ambassadors (including this Register Forum news correspondent) were
fortunate enough to be able to attend and play in this amazing week-long
festival. Along with him and us six students, Vice Principal Bobby
Tynes and Nurse Tracy Rose also came along to chaperone and play with
us. Read more >>
Spain
Chocolate
chip cookies and Thanksgiving turkey were the order of the day when 20
students from Majadahonda, Spain arrived last September to spend three
weeks in the homes of CRLS families and attend classes with their
American "brothers" and "sisters". This was the second part of a
bilateral exchange with "Instituto Leonardo DaVinci", a comprehensive
public high school 10 kilometers outside of Madrid. Twelve CRLS students
traveled to Spain at the end of June to experience Spanish life,
including visits to iconic places such as Toledo and the Prado Art
Museum as well as coming home to a doting Spanish family. Read more >>
