Welcome Amity Interns!
Nathalia Ximena Moreno Novoa- Colombia
Francisco Figueros- Spain
Belén Torrero Rionegro- Spain  Each year our PTA sponsors native Spanish speaking interns to join our school community for the year and assist our teachers in their classrooms.
Please help make our interns feel welcome by introducing yourself. Consider asking one or all of them to your home for dinner or include them in a family outing. This is a great way for your children to practice their Spanish and for the interns to learn and experience our culture while they are here. They are also available for tutoring after school. Please contact the intern directly to schedule.
A big thank you to the following three families for agreeing to be our fall host families: The Kaehlers, The Carbons and The Skaggs.
If you would like to learn more about the program, please visit http://www.amity.org or contact an Amity committee member: Muchas Gracias to the PTA and our host families! To schedule tutoring, please contact the interns directly
