March 1-7 is National World Languages Week with the theme, "Celebrate The World Through Language"
This year, 145 LHS students choose to study Spanish or German from Level 1 through Advanced Placement (AP) classes.
World language learners do more than studying vocabulary - they build communication skills, cultural awareness, and global understanding that will serve them for a lifetime.
Learning another language strengthens critical thinking, opens doors to future careers, and helps students see the world through new perspectives.
Throughout the week, students are participating in fun classroom and school-wide activities, but most importantly, we recognize their choice to take on the challenge of learning a new language when so many other options are available. That commitment deserves to be celebrated!
This summer, 24 Luverne students will take their learning beyond the classroom as they travel to Barcelona, Spain, and Munich, Germany for 10 days practicing their language skills and experiencing culture firsthand with Mrs. Swenson and Mrs. Thorson.
We are proud to support world languages and even prouder of the students who make our program thrive.
