Speas Elementary School

Speas Global Elementary School kicked off Hispanic Heritage Month with their annual parade on Thursday morning. Students represented Spanish-speaking countries around the world through costume as part of their "Who We Are" unit on world cultures. Many teachers and students at the school come from these countries, and bringing the whole community together to honor their diversity is one of the highlights of Speas' school year.

"Our Hispanic community does a lot to elevate our school culture," said Magnet Coordinator Micaela Bermudez. "We're a very diverse school, and that's something we should celebrate."

Speas Global Elementary School took their community on a trip around the world during their annual International Night on Friday. Students and staff presented research projects on countries across the world and shared those countries' cultures through music, dance, crafts, and more. International Night is the perfect opportunity to show off the vibrant worldview that students develop when they attend a magnet school with international curriculum, as well as a chance to bring the whole neighborhood together for a night of fun.

"It's a great way to build connections, both globally and within our school," said Stephanie Miller, a fifth grade dual-language immersion teacher at Speas. "Everybody has such a good time."

CONGRATULATIONS to all students with a piece of artwork in the WS/FCS Spring Arts Extravaganza on display now at the Milton Rhodes Center for the Arts. Beginning today, anyone in the community can visit the exhibition from 9am-7pm in the Reynolds Place Gallery on the first floor of the building at 251 N Spruce St in downtown Winston Salem. The exhibit will be taken down on Monday, March 30th. There is a reception Friday, March 27th from 4-6 o'clock p.m. This coincides with our International Night event, but there are many opportunities to visit the exhibit outside those 2 hours.
