Worcester Prep students spread language of love beyond classroom
February 26, 2020
To spread some love and share their love of learning the Spanish language, students in Spanish III and IV classes created Valentine’s Day cards filled with Spanish messages of love, gratitude and well wishes for all of the Worcester Prep faculty, staff and administration who make the school such a special place.

During the month of February, Worcester Preparatory School students shared the love of language through their French, Mandarin, and Spanish classes.
As part of her lesson on the Chinese New Year, the most important holiday in Chinese-speaking countries, Mandarin teacher Ashley Lin taught her students how to make dumplings (or jiǎozi in Mandarin). Dumplings symbolize longevity and wealth and are a traditional must-eat food on Chinese New Year’s Eve. Prior to making dumplings, her beginner Mandarin students studied about Chinese New Year food, Chinese Zodiac, the 15 Days of New Year and Lantern Festival along with a poster presentation project. In addition to enriching students’ cultural knowledge, this activity brings good luck to the students for the coming Rat year. Shown are (l-r) Mandarin teacher Ashley Lin, Linley Hill and Kathy Zhang.
French teacher Elaine Burg and her students in French I, II and III created thoughtful Valentine’s cards and wrote get-well wishes in French to sick children in the Montreal Children’s Hospital. Shown are (l-r) Aria Islam, Morgan White, Ava Nally, Riley Schoch, Brooke Emeigh, Sydney Lamson-Reich, Marshall Mumford and French teacher Elaine Burg.
