Hola East Liverpool, Ohio


Mrs. Ventresco a Spanish teacher at Avon High School uses videoconferencing to help kindergarten students from North Elementary School in East Liverpool learn Spanish in an effort to improve language development. Avon is working with the Columbiana County Educational Service Center and are looking to add a school in Mexico later in the year to enhance the program.

Avon High School and North Elementary School connect once a week to learn new words in Spanish and to share the activities they have completed with the previous words. Avon High School students take turns coming in during their lunch periods to work with the students.
