Cultural Exchange with Lasallian Partner Schools from Zaragoza, Spain
This spring, we welcomed 16 students and two faculty members from our Lasallian partner schools in Zaragoza, Spain, to La Salle! The visit celebrated a reciprocal exchange following our journey to Zaragoza last fall. Our guests experienced life at La Salle first-hand, joining their counterparts in classes and extracurricular activities and enjoying the hospitality of our host families. One of the highlights was the dual-language speaking activity with our Spanish honors students, fostering cultural understanding and creating lasting friendships. We're grateful for this meaningful intercultural experience and send our best wishes to our friends from Spain.
