Thomas Jefferson hosts bilingual workshop

¡La Chispa!, a regional bilingual workshop for middle level students designed to teach leadership skills to Latino students, recently came to Thomas Jefferson High School.

In this workshop, students build self-confidence, strengthen their cultural identity and increase their academic success. Student success is largely dependent on three factors: positive adult role models, involvement in school and community service.

The board recognized Julie Cabanas, Spanish Teacher and Latin Student Union Advisor, along with 13 student leaders that helped to organize and promote the event.
