As one of the electives this year, students have the option to take a foreign languages class. It is a year-long class made up of one language per trimester. The students have just concluded their study on Greek, which was taught by Craig Krueger, father of student Ian Krueger, a sophomore. The first trimester ended before Thanksgiving break and starting today, Mandarin Chinese will be the focus. This class will be taught using Rosetta Stone with Mr. Koppendrayer as the teacher. Mr. Koppendrayer knows little about Chinese. In conjunction with Rosetta Stone, one of our own exchange students from China, Sunny, will be helping with the translations and will also help facilitate the learning. The third trimester language will be Latin and will be taught by Mr. Koppendrayer. This class is a great way for students to explore and appreciate diversity in language and culture.
