Spanish students visit the Cleveland Institute of Art
On Oct. 22, the Spanish III and IV class members went on a field trip to the Cleveland Institute of Art. They viewed the motion picture "Sleep Dealer," which was in Spanish with English subtitles.
An award winning picture from the 2008 Foreign Film Festival, the film dealt with issues such as illegal immigration, water rights and technology outpacing our ability to keep up with it. Students enjoyed the thought-provoking film.
After the movie, they traveled to Solon on their way home and ate at the Mexican restaurant, Chipotle. It was a beautiful day to see the leaves changing as the group drove down Fairmount Boulevard into Shaker Heights, past the bustling campus of Case Western Reserve University.
Everyone had an enjoyable and educational time. The Spanish teacher is Mr. Tom Pokorny.
