How far do guest speakers travel to talk with St. Anne's School students? 
Pretty far if Middle School Spanish teacher Patty Kerwin is involved. Ms. Kerwin arranged for her father, Carlos Villamil, an engineer and historian from Bogot�, Colombia to visit with Fourth through Eighth Grade students. Mr. Villamil shared lessons on tourism and the economy in Colombia. Thank you Mr. Villamil, it was a privilege to have you at our School.
