Student working together at World Language Day

This year, in partnership with Springfield Public Schools, we have added sessions on languages and careers, in addition to the crafts, activities and friendly competitions from last year. We think that students will really enjoy the lineup we are working on for them. The finalized schedule will be posted and provided by early.
