Ta's school, Richmond Drive, has an awesome Spanish immersion program where all students receive Spanish instruction for at least 20 minutes every day. A 5th grade class entered the ACTFL Video Podcast Contest in which they created a 1-minute video explaining what languages can do for them. Their video has made it to the national finals! Please take a moment to vote for the video as they can win cash and prizes to benefit the school's Spanish program. Thanks! To vote, visit http://www.actflvideocontest.org/
