Hutchison Girls Excel at World Language Fair

¡Stupendo! Hutchison girls won a total of 27 medals at The University of Memphis 2020 World Language Fair, demonstrating their knowledge of Chinese, Latin, and Spanish.
Middle and upper school girls participated in the 2020 World Language Fair at The University of Memphis this spring where they demonstrated their knowledge of Latin, Chinese, and Spanish. The students competed in a variety of contests including poetry recitation, writing, costumes, folk dance, drama, music, projects, crafts, and a culture bowl in Chinese, Latin, and Spanish. The fair is sponsored by the University's Department of Foreign Languages and Literature.

Due to COVID-19, the on-site participations were canceled, but our girls submitted online entries with the support of Latin teacher Ms. Virginia Baird, Spanish teacher Señora María Teresa Evans, and Chinese teacher Lǎoshī Hong Lin.

The awards were recently announced and altogether, our girls won 27 medals!
