Our Spanish II students recently wrapped up the international music bracket competition Locura de Marzo, joining over 240,000 students from all 50 states and 15 countries! 🎶🌎 In this competition, students listened to songs from the Spanish-speaking world, with two songs going head-to-head each day as students worldwide voted for their favorites.
Our students created their own brackets to predict the winners and learned to express their opinions about the songs in Spanish. They also explored the artists' backgrounds, their home countries, and even learned some of the lyrics! It was a fun and immersive way to engage with music and culture! 🇪🇸🎤🎶 Our Clayton Spanish II winner this year was Macy Grosskreutz. ¡Felicitaciones!

🩸🩸 There are a few open spots still available!🩸🩸

Happy Pi Day! Here are some fascinating facts about pi:
➕ The symbol for Pi has been in use for over 250 years. It was introduced by William Jones, a Welsh mathematician, in 1706.
➕ March 14 or 3/14 is celebrated as Pi Day because 3.14 are the first digits of pi.
➕ The record for reciting the most number of decimal places of Pi was achieved by Rajveer Meena at VIT University, in Vellore, India on March 21, 2015. He was able to recite 70,000 decimal places in 10 hours!
➕ The calculation of pi is a stress test for a computer. It works just like a digital cardiogram since it indicates the level of activity within the computer's processor.
