Dominican Day was a success!!!
We would like to thank members of the Methods class who helped out at the Spanish language table. We would also like to thank Dr. Ricardo for doing a fantastic job teaching merengue. And thank you to Chartwells for providing the food for the evening.
From 3-4 in the afternoon elementary school students attended Dominican Day. The stations were more simplified compared to the evening part of Dominican Day. The kids made masks and learned some simple Spanish words. They also made cards in Spanish to be taken to the childrens centers in the Dominican Republic.
The second part of the evening ran from 7pm-9pm. Over 151 people attended the event. Guests spent time checking out each of the stations which ranged from Spanish language learning to information about the Dominican Republic and Reach Out. The mask-making station was a big hit with the students. The Dominican-inspired food was very popular as well.
Dr. Ricardo of the Spanish department kicked off the 8pm hour with merengue lessons. He broke down the steps to make it easier for everyone to learn. The upbeat music added to the dancing and soon the floor was filled with students.
Overall, Reach Out was extremely pleased with Dominican Day! It was a great night!
Photos of the night will be posted on our website www.ship.edu/honors/reachout so be sure to check them out!
