Every week in Spanish 1, Señor Lowe chooses two "estudiantes de la semana" (students of the week) based on who has been an example of good character in the previous week. With a little help from home, the students have to determine who the student is based on facts presented in Spanish. All of the students will be chosen at some point in the class because at Fairview, everyone shows examples of good character! La pregunta: Who will it be next week?
