package for a complete description of the variety of activities
world language students will be enjoying this year at the Fair, as
some activities require prior preparation and prior registration.As
in the past our entertainment chair will post and announce the
winners right after a contest or competition has been completed and

the day, when many schools have already called their students to
their buses. Winners will be asked to claim their trophies or
prices at the Fair Stage.
The World Languages Fair has proven to be a great student
motivator and with your support and participation, we are certain
that this fair will be bigger and better. If you are new to this
