Did you know Folsom Prep students take Spanish class each week? From learning the basics like numbers, letters, and colors in Spanish to carrying on conversations, students learn how to read, write and speak Spanish from our very own Señora McCay. This spring, students have focused on environments and how they change around the world. 🌎
Becoming multilingual from a young age comes with a variety of benefits like:
🧠 Stronger memory skills
👂 Improved listening skills
🫶 Better understanding of other cultures
🙋♂️ Greater confidence
🗣 Building a stronger vocabulary
🙌 Improved social skills

What's it like to be a leader? Ask any of our students and you might get different answers, but something they all have in common is they are empowered to be leaders at school. Our WOW teams encourage students to build the lifelong leadership skills they need, like communication and teamwork. For example, students who are part of our Leadership WOW Team lead our school assemblies which give them the opportunity to practice their public speaking and take ownership in planning each event. Way to go!
This is your friendly reminder that taxes are due today!
