Itinerary Update

Dear Families,

I am having trouble posting the itinerary on the blog. Please be patient with me. Here is is once more, and hopefully complete.

We're having a good time with our volunteer work and our classes. Students have a test in Spanish classes on Thursday! We will encourage students to email their families more frequently.

Graci'as,

Heather
