Numerous Students Excel at District Foreign Language Fair

Disponible en: Español

Intermediate to high school students recently competed at the annual Aldine ISD Foreign Language Fair. The theme of this year’s event was, “Promoting Language Through Culture.”

A total of 498 students participated in the fair. The event consisted of student-generated exhibits, written products, and oral presentations that showcased students’ foreign language skills. To add to the international flair, students were also given a “passport” to view all of the exhibits.

After months of study, teams comprised of students from numerous campuses from across the district competed against each other to demonstrate their language proficiency.
