University Announces Foreign Language Festival Winners
Students from area schools participated in Spelling Bee and Prose Reading competitions in French, German and Spanish. A scavenger hunt featured clues written in foreign languages. Non-competitive events included speakers, musical performances, skits, and recitations.
