The funds raised from this year’s Fiesta will be used to expand our program and to hire Teacher Trainees from Spanish speaking countries. These Teacher Trainees are an important part of our children’s learning experiences. Because many of our families and staff members are patrons of your business, we are hoping we can count on you for donations for our Silent Auction and Raffle. In turn we will give you the appropriate recognition and credit at our upcoming event and in our schools monthly newsletter. Any items provided, big or small would be much appreciated. All businesses that donate will receive a letter for their tax records.
We are a public school that is a program of choice that serves non-Spanish speaking families that live in the boundaries of District 833. Founded in 2004, Nuevas Fronteras Spanish Immersion currently has three kindergarten, three first grade, three second grade, three third grade, two fourth grade , and two fifth grade classrooms. We share school facilities with Crestview Elementary School in Cottage Grove, Minnesota. We draw students from the cities of Woodbury, Cottage Grove, St. Paul Park and Newport and have become a viable partner in the continually-growing immersion education network of the Twin Cities. Our current program population consists of about 350 students and 17 teachers.
Students in our program are immersed in Spanish as they learn in the curricular areas of reading, writing, math, science, social studies, art, and health. As with all programs in the South Washington County School district, our goal is to empower all our learners with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes for success. An additional goal for our students is to communicate effectively in Spanish.
