Bilingual Moments
In March, 50 high school Spanish students from the Jewish Academy of
Metropolitan Detroit went to the Manuel Reyes School in Detroit to spend the
morning playing and reading with the preschool youngsters.
They also brought scores of their favorite children's book to donate to the
school library.
The Manuel Reyes School is a bilingual preschool that JAMD's Spanish sal-
dents have adopted as their "little sister school."
"It was a wonderful experience because not only are the students giving to oth-
ers but they are using their Spanish skills in a real-life situation," said JAMD
Spanish teacher Mindy Roberts, who coordinated the visit. "Both the preschool-
ers and the JAMD Spanish students benefit from spending time together."

checking up on the progress and
answering questions. That was really
impressive."
