In October the Spanish Honor Society hosted an evening production by Flamenco Boston. This evening began with an amazing array of tapas to try out and then the performance included various styles of Flamenco Dance and amazing Spanish guitar, along with an opportunity for the audience to come up on stage and learn some Flamenco Steps!

Felicidades to la Sra. Olievira's Class on catching the elusive chupacabra. Students in her conversation class successfully followed a series of complex directions to find this mythical creature!
The West Bridgewater Language Department was fortunate enough last week to attend a wonderful program put on by the culinary department of Boston University where well known chefs like Julia Child taught at. Her famous stool she used was even there. The French department traveled all around France tasting different dishes on Monday, May 29th where we tasted foods from four distinct regions. Along with delicious food, we also learned cooking tips and students received recipes for the foods. On Tuesday, May 30th, the Spanish department did the same where they made true Spanish cuisine. They got to try the best of Spain, enjoying an authentic dish based on the language they have been studying. This was a fun, cultural experience that both departments enjoyed. We may even see some future chefs attend this school from WBMSHS! The West Bridgewater Middle Senior High School was fortunate enough earlier this year to once again host some students from China. The Chinese exchange students went over to the Spring Street School and taught some of the children about their lives and vocabulary that are apart of their everyday lives. They had a great time meeting and the students, along with their buddies, took a day trip into Boston to the Museum of Science. After the museum the Chinese students took a tour of Boston College. Many of the students are actually interested in coming to America for their studies after high school. We hosted a day where we brought in typical American foods and desserts for them to try, while prior to that, they held a cooking demonstration of a tomato and egg dish with Portuguese rolls. Both groups learned a lot from their overseas friends and the Department hopes to plan a trip to China in the next year. Members of the 2017 Exchange:

Next week, the West Bridgewater Middle-Senior High School will welcome 16 of their new Chinese exchange student friends into our small town to experience life as an American student. They will accompany their American buddies, shadowing them in their classes. We also are welcoming 4 teachers and staff with us.

There will be various events afterschool for both American and Chinese cultures to come together. This is a great opportunity for both to learn about the other and to enjoy a brand new experience, or a potentially new favorite food.
