A group of 19 Spanish students and two teachers, Spanish teacher Arnaldo Rodriguex and health teacher Amy Obenour, will leave for the annual trip to Cuernavaca, Mexico, on Feb. 12 and will return on Feb. 22. While in Mexico, the students will take Spanish classes at Universidad Internacional as well as tour the city of Cuernavaca. This year, the number of students going on this trip is particularly small due to a time conflict with Bombay in the Bay, which is also occurring on Feb. 15. As a result, fewer students will be going on the trip, compared to the usual 40 to 50 students. Rodriguex said that the smaller group would be beneficial. “One advantage [of the smaller group] would be that we are all in the same bus,” Rodriguex said. “We have always had two buses because of a larger group.” Sophomore Michelle Wang, going on the trip this year, said, “I’m excited to take a break from school and immerse myself in a different culture while strengthening my Spanish skills.” 1 view this week
